Started to watch the match 30 mins in and saw him being carried off by 2 physios and it didnt look good. He might be out for the whole tournament which might not be a bad thing for Arsenal as he wont be shattered for pre season when he comes back.

Began following the game online on mediotiempo.com and when I saw that 5 minutes into the game, Nicaragua – David Solórzano took a shot at him (Vela). I turned to the tellie to see the rest. The website has better pictures of the game and Vela being taken off the field…. Nicaragua 0-2 México : )

Please tell us he’s going to be alright. He will have a much larger role to play next season, especially if Ade really leaves.

I hope he comes back early, he his a spectucular player, i mean Arsene said it himself ,”he is like an Eduardo type”. He has something Adebayor doesnt have and thats how to finish off 1 on 1.

There is good news for all Gunner and Vela fans, because Carlos not suffered the firstly predicted fracture in his right fibula!! After scans in the Oakland Mercy Hospital the doctor Dr. Radames Gaxiola could stop our worries!!

“He has a sprain in his right fibula, but it is not that serious that the whole tournament ends for him here. If he recovers very well he could be back on Thursday when the Mexican Side face Panama.”

On the other side, of course there is now a big risk, if he features in the upcoming matches. Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger will of course call the Mexican Medical stuff, to get all new updates about Carlos injury!!
