Campbell Constantly Crocked - Will Sol ever play for Arsenal again?

Sol Campbell will miss the start to Arsenal's season as he continues to fight his injury hell that kept him out of the latter part of Arsenal's team last season. The 30 year old England International has a calf injury, and there are rumors circulating that he could even miss England's qualifiers against Wales and Northern Ireland in September.

The powerhouse defender was reportedly gutted at being left out of the FA Cup final as Arsenal squeaked past Man Utd on penalties. Wenger does believe Campbell will recover, though.

Wenger said: "I'm confident that Sol Campbell will not have a season like he did last year, but nobody knows how many games he will play this season."

Wenger added he expects Sol to be fit within "two to three weeks". Despite the Gunners Boss' assurance, many around Highbury will be wondering if there is something else going on behind the scenes at Highbury. Campbell sustained the first injury in the 4-2 home loss against Man Utd, back in Februaury, but even then Sol was only expect to be out for two or three weeks. The reality of which is getting close to 6 months!

With Vieira having left for Juventus this summer, due to the fact he feels he will never win the Champions League with the Gunners, it is a possibility that Campbell will be feeling a similar sort of frustration. Campbell has been linked with Newcastle this summer; possibly with in a player exchange deal for Jermaine Jenas, and with Jenas reportedly unhappy at St James Park- and Newcastle's defence in disarray (as evidenced against Deportivo La Coruna)- the move could be back on.

As the Sol Campbell mystery continues, Arsenal are likely to start their season with Kolo Toure and Phillipe Senderos as their centre back pairing, starting with Chelsea on Sunday in the Community Shield.
