At least there's an international break coming. Let's hope Alli, Toby and Lamela will be available soon.

My Arsenal friends constantly say his knee's are fucked and he will be finished as a player by 27. They keep sending photos of the sticky on brace around the knee cap and up the leg, which he has worn at and since his time with MK Dons. Does anyone have any info on what these braces are or why he wears them constantly?

Sums up your average arsenal fan. They're clearly there to aid the muscle, you can't protect knees with sticky tape!!

It's called kinesio tape. Physio's use it to add a little stability to muscles and/or pull them into a slightly different position.

It's a little faddy imo but I'm not a physio.
I had it done to my ankle years ago. I could feel it was on but not sure it helped.

Bale used to need them when he had recurring hip/back problems. They fixed as he got older. But the tape manufacturers pay him to keep wearing them.

Wonder if it is the same with Ali?
