"The star trio of the club - defender Sol Campbell, goalkeeper Patrick Vieira, and forward Thierry Henry suffered injuries. At least Sol Campbell will probably miss the start of the new season. All three players participated in the European Championship in Portugal. In the opinion of "Arsenal" coach Arsene Wenger, the pitches were of low quality and this could have affected the players' physical condition - "The pitches in Portugal were very hard," said the coach. "Arsenal" team captain P.Vieira injured his thigh, while T.Henry and S.Campbell suffered Achilles injuries. "Campbell will definitely not play, P.Vieira has good chances to recover, and there are big doubts about T.Henry," said A.Wenger."
