Djourou Falling Out of Favor?


Has Johan Djourou already fallen out of favor with Wenger?  I am curious because he dressed for the Blackpool match but did not play.  The following week he did not dress for Blackburn and he wasn't on the injury report.  Since then there hasn't been any news pertaining to JD20 or any mention that maybe his rehabilitation from last season's injury might still be ongoing.  Djourou was also left off the Switzerland roster for the current round of Euro qualifiers.  Anyone know whether his absence is injury related or that he is quite possibly not high on Wenger's list.  Personally, I hope he is still getting into form following a devastating injury...I think Djourou is a dynamic player with solid defense...it would be a shame for Arsenal not to use him this season.  Let the discussion begin...

Hard to get in the starting XI

when not fit. Unless you’re Cesc or RVP.

This.

yeah, it's too early to jump the gun on him

And with our backline still a tad thin even with our new signings, I wouldn’t count him out.

He played in the reserves yesterday

Having been injured a year, it’ll be tough to gain fitness.

Reserves are where players go to die!

Lol. You’re probably right though…his fitness must still be in the shits…probably explains why he wasn’t recently selected for the Switzerland side. I know his absence from the World Cup squad was solely related to the injury.
