The Swiss Football Association claims Johan Djourou's shoulder problem is not as bad as first feared.
The Arsenal
defender was expected to be sidelined for a prolonged period of time after dislocating his shoulder against Manchester United
on Saturday.It was even suggested that the knock, sustained during a 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Old Trafford,
could keep him out for the remainder of the season.Arsene Wenger
made that claim during his post-match reaction, with the Frenchman resigning himself to the fact that the centre-half would not figure again this term.Those fears have been eased, though, following extensive medical tests.
There is now a possibility that Djourou
could return to action by the end of March, allowing him to turn out for club and country in crucial fixtures.A statement from the Swiss FA released on their official website read: "The shoulder injury to Johan Djourou is less serious than feared on Saturday and announced by the coach of his club."
