Arsene Wenger accused his Arsenal team of failing to perform
as they slumped in Dortmund and returned home with Jack Wilshere at the centre
of another injury scare.
Wilshere twisted his right ankle near the end of the 2-0
defeat and Wenger admitted he was concerned because it is the same joint which
ruled him out of action for 17 months.
'It's difficult to say how bad it is,' said the Arsenal
manager. 'Normally it would not be too bad but I am a bit cautious because of
his history.'
Injuries are piling up on Arsenal and a blow to Wilshere
will deepen the gloom after their Champions League campaign got off to a poor
start, as they were deservedly beaten by the Germans.
'It was a difficult night,' said Wenger. 'Dortmund were the
better team. We had a disappointing performance. It is difficult to go into
individual assessment of any player because as a team were not at the required
level.
'Still the paradox of the night is that we had very good
chances to score first. We were caught on two counter-attacks. For the first,
we lost the ball 80 metres from our goal. There were enough people to stop the
goal. We were still three-against-one at the back. It's difficult to understand
how we conceded the goal.'
