INJURY UPDATE – Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey has suffered a break in his right leg in two places. Aaron Ramsey’s injury from Ryan Shawcross has prompted emergency surgery.

The leg break by the midfielder happened during Aresenal’s Premier League match at Stoke. The injury came during a foul from Ryan Shawcross in the second half of the game.

Arsenal has released the following injury update statement about Ramsey:

“During yesterday’s match against Stoke City, Aaron Ramsey sustained fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg. Yesterday evening he underwent surgery.

“The operation successfully reduced the fractures and whilst it is too soon to state an exact timescale for recovery, Aaron will certainly miss the remainder of this season.

“Our thoughts are with Aaron at this time and everyone at the club wishes him all the best in making as speedy a return to action as possible.”

Arsenal manager’s slammed the Shawcross tackle as “not acceptable.”

“[It's] horrendous. To see a young lad of 19 injured like that, it’s just not acceptable. “It’s not football for me and it’s not what I like in the game. If we have to live with that, I refuse to do that.

“Of course (the Football Association need to act). I can do nothing about it. The players are professional and they have to respect the rules and respect each other.”

Shawcross issued the following statement:

“There was absolutely no malice in the challenge. I would never go out to hurt a fellow professional. I am deeply upset that Aaron has suffered such a bad injury and my thoughts are with him.

“I would like to send him my best wishes too for a speedy recovery.”

Ryan Kessler says the team has to score early on. “We’ve got to jump on them early” That’s not what has happened.

U.S. coach Ron Wilson says of today’s game the following:

“[Canada is a] hard to beat a team twice in a tournament like this. But we’ve beaten Canada, and we’ll play better than we did the last time we played against them.”

The game today could be decided in the first quarter. USA dominated Slovakia in the semi finals on Friday by scoring 6 goals in just 13 minutes. USA’s score would hold up ending in a 6-1 win.

Shots are favoring Canada 2 to 1 as we approach the half way point in the first quarter.

Ryan Kessler says the team has to score early on. “We’ve got to  jump on them early” That’s not what has happened.

U.S. coach Ron Wilson says of today’s game the following:

“[Canada is a] hard to beat a team twice in a tournament like this. But we’ve beaten Canada, and we’ll play better than we did the last time we played against them.”

The game today could be decided in the first quarter. USA dominated Slovakia in the semi finals on Friday by scoring 6 goals in just 13 minutes. USA’s score would hold up ending in a 6-1 win.

Live coverage will be on NBC, online at NBC.com with expected streams on JustinTv and or Ustream.

Pay attention today to Canada’s Sidney Crosby who has been cold the last two rounds, but on February 1 scored three goals.

“I feel like I’ve generated a lot of chances. The puck hasn’t gone in as easy for our line the last couple of games, but we’ve been right there and that’s a good sign. Hopefully, this is the time we’re going to break out here.”

With these two games remaining, the US is far back in number of Gold medals. Canada is first in golds with 13, Germany with 10, then US with 9 and Norway with 8.
