The rumours are based on ‘anecdotal evidence’ and as of yet unconfirmed but, if true, would spell misery for the North London club as the injury sustained during Kallstrom’s first training session with club would see him sidelined for the majority of the entire duration he was due to spend there on-loan from Spartak Moscow.

The rumours were based on ‘anecdotal evidence’ and were unconfirmed. It could have spelt misery for the North London club as the injury would see him sidelined for the majority of the entire duration he was due to spend there on-loan from Spartak Moscow.

The midfielder was brought in to compensate for the absence of Mathieu Flamini, whose suspension will prevent him from featuring in tough upcoming clashes with both Liverpool and Manchester United. However, because the deal was not finalised before the registration deadline, Kallstrom would have been ineligible for Arsenal’s next game against Crystal Palace regardless.
