Wenger blames England for Campbell's woe
Sunday August 01 2004
Arsene Wenger has accused England's medical staff of wrecking Sol Campbell's chances of being fit for the start of the season.
Campbell will be out for at least six weeks with an Achilles injury sustained during Euro 2004.
Arsenal manager Wenger told the Sunday Mirror: "It is a big blow to us. Campbell has tendon damage which went undetected and I would say we will be without him for at least six weeks."
He added: "They thought it was a minor problem but we discovered the true extent of the damage when he came back and had an MRI scan.
"The injury was much worse than the medical staff thought in the English camp and if he was treated earlier he would have had a better chance of starting the season.
"A tendon problem is very difficult to detect unless you do an MRI scan and you can see how bad the damage is.
"But they didn't do one and that's why we discovered the extent of the damage afterwards."
坎贝尔将有可能因肌腱受伤休养至少6周,因此会错过英超开场。温格认为坎贝尔的缺席对阿森纳影响很大,同时主教练认为是英格兰国家队队医未做MRI scan(造影检查??)而对坎贝尔的伤治疗不当。
(有时候想想国家队和俱乐部的确有点矛盾啊,球员要踢那么多场比赛也很难为他们了。难怪曼联的老弗那么反感国家队比赛!)
