Arteta has Grade 2 Hamstring Tear

[Rook]

Grade 2: What does it feel like?

* Gait will be affected-limp may be present .
* May be associated with occasional sudden twinges of pain during activity.
* May notice swelling.
* Pressure increases pain.
* Flexing the knee against resistance causes pain.
* Might be unable to fully straighten the knee.

A Grade 2 tear seems to me about the most accurate description of what it feels like to watch our club this season.

Can't even manage to achieve Grade One injuries, this seasons gone to pot, still.... Vics hamstrings seem fine, swings and roundabouts, hey

Can anyone shed any light on how far away the little Spaniard is from returning? I usually find this site (http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/epl_injury_table.php) quite reliable but it sheds no light. He was just finding some form before the injury so I hope we can get him back for the run in!!

This is nothing. Phil Neville is a grade 4 wizard with level 3 fire spells, +2 to armour and the staff of antioch.

I heard he was back in the UK now and undergoing light training/rehab.
