Clichy out for the season

Arsenal's Gael Clichy has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a back injury.

The Frenchman sustained the injury during Arsenal's away trip to Villareal in the Champions League.

This has made him miss crucial games especially the semi finals of Champions league against Manchester United where Arsenal lost 4-1 on aggregate.

Wenger claims he would have rushed the youngster back had they progressed to the champions league final but since that didn't take place,they would allow the player to heal completely before making a comeback in the pre season in July.

Arsenal face Chelsea on Saturday and both the champions league knocked out semi finalists have nothing to play for in the Premiership.However Chelsea has a shot at silverware when they face Everton in the FA Cup on 30th May.
