Why are they injured again?...

What the hell is up with this season's football? From Italy to England players have all sorts of injury in the same sequence.

First in Italy-the midfielder, Gennaro Gattuso who's injured on his wrist while training on Sunday. Italy coach Marcello Lippi is also without defenders Alessandro Gamberini and Fabio Grosso, both of whom were injured at the start of the world champions' 2-1 win over Cyprus in their Group Eight opener on Saturday.

Fiorentina's Gamberini hurt his shoulder and is expected to be out for a few weeks, while Olympique Lyon full back Grosso will be sidelined for a month after fracturing two ribs

Arsenal FC is raining with injured people like hell. Cesc Fabregas has become the ninth member of Arsenal's first-team squad to be ruled out of tonight's Champions League qualifier against FC Twente.

A hamstring injury means the Spain star will play no part in the third qualifying round first leg clash with Steve McClaren's team.

Arsene Wenger is already without defenders Kolo Toure and Philippe Senderos, midfielders Abou Diaby, Samir Nasri and Amaury Bischoff, as well as long-term absentees Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo, while Alex Song is at the Beijing Olympics.

The growing injury list means £5 million summer signing Aaron Ramsey, 17, will be paired with Brazil's Denilson in central midfield, who is only 20.

"You try to rush the fitness when you have Champions League qualifiers and some of them get injuries," Wenger admitted.

"It's the most problematic start [to a season] numbers-wise.

"We are short of one player and I hope to do something this week or before the transfer deadline."

While in Portsmouth FC is having a hard time with Jermaine Defoe's virus, Jerome Thomas' back injury that he picked up while sleeping on the wrong side of the bed, David Nugent's Groin Strain and Niko Kranjcar's injury I mentioned earlier.

This football matches are gonna be messy these days and I'm not talking about Messi but at least Premiers League aren't cancled right?
