Righto then. Sorry about the lack of a blog yesterday, but it's an interlull so I was busy staring at a cloud for amusement. A bit more news today though, let's keep it brief. Nicklas Bendtner has picked up a minor knock with Denmark in training, it doesn't look that serious and he hasn't been sent home so he could well be fine for this weekend. Shame. Johan Djourou could also be back in three to four weeks as he looks set to not need surgery.
This weekend, Aaron Ramsey is set to get the armband for Wales. It seems Wales look to the future when picking their captains, rather than England's approach of picking the most cretinous individual possible. Anyways, congratulations to Rambo obviously, let's hope he can fill his boots and kick on from here. A bit of transfer news flying around as papers look to fill up the interlull, the Mail reckon that we're set to battle with Bayern Munich for Gary Cahill. Admittedly a good replacement for Squillaci, but Bartley looks likely to get a few games next season. Still, extra depth wouldn't go amiss...
Another piece in the Mail about young Charlton defender Carl Jenkinson who will be available for a free in the summer; YoungGuns clarifies the situation here. The Mirror reckons that the Premier League big guns are after Connor Wickham, heard that one before? Also, the usual club vs. country debate, with the U-21 European Championships this summer, Stuart Pearce is looking at the possibility of calling up players from the senior side, with the likes of Jack Wilshere being looked at.
Aside from that, stuff from the official site including a new contract for young striker Luke Freeman, he's certainly got Premiership potential so let's hope he goes far. Jack Wilshere has been chatting about how Twitter has helped him understand the fans and James Shea has spoken about his eight day loan at Southampton.
Finally, congratulations to Arsenal Ladies who got through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League on away goals. They will face Lyon in the semis. That's all for today folks. More mind-numbing interlull guaranteed tomorrow.
