Chelsea will suffer

Arsene Wenger said, that Chelsea will suffer, not Arsenal from the hard hit by the ACN(African Cup of Nations). The Gunners lose Alex Song, Emmanuel Eboue and Kolo Toure to the Tournament which started at the end of this month, while the Blues will be missing Didier Drogba, Mikel John Obi, Salomon Kalou and Michael Essien. And Wenger says Chelsea will feel the impact most of all.

"When you do buy them, you have to consider how many to go for. If you lose four or five games at that time, you can't win the championship so you have to consider the balance," he said.

Toure leaves to Afrika

The lats Arsenal's game with West Ham(a win with 2-0, Eduardo, Adebayor) was the last for the Kolo Toure in Premier league . He will go to Ghana to play African Nations Cup with Ivory Coast team.
His partner in defence William Gallas thinks, that there are players who can replace Toure in defence.
We will wait for big boy Kolo Toure in middle of February!
