I’m interested in the above comments re the TV coverage because on R5L neither Alan Green nor Danny Mills were aware that Oxlade Chamberlain was injured.
Indeed when he was substituted they expressed surprise and specifically said they didn’t think he could be injured. They said he threw his shirt at the bench and believed that further suggested he couldn’t be injured.
Shows how difficult commentating live can be.
The issue was compounded because it resulted in talk about Wenger's tactics making no sense bringing on someone only to then substitute them and that line of discussion then continued on 606 with Jason Mohammad and Ian Wright also completely unaware of the injury.”

As soon as Nev criticised Oxlade Chamberlin and Ozil for walking around, somebody must have told him in his ear that Ox is about to be substituted for an injury because he retracted what he'd said by adding "unless one of them is injured".
