Mikel Arteta Warns Injury Crisis Could Hinder The Gunners' Trophy Quest
Mikel Arteta has voiced fears that his squad's pursuit for titles this season is being threatened by a worrying cycle of injuries and a grueling schedule.
Latest Squad Update
Star player Declan Rice did not travel for the Champions League clash to Belgium due to illness. In addition, forward Leandro Trossard and center-back William Saliba are still unavailable.
There was, on a brighter note, better news regarding Gabriel Jesus, with the South American forward added to their European squad. He replaces the hurt youngster Max Dowman, who picked up an foot problem.
"Practice, no because we don't have time to train. But clearly the fact that you are without players, you are placing demands on other players more, there's a knock-on effect to that and it's a really vicious cycle."
Dowman's setback is the most recent in a extensive series of injuries for the North London side. Since the start of last season, they have recorded 95 player absences, the second-highest total in the Premier League.
Long-Term Absentees
- Defenders Cristhian Mosquera and Gabriel Magalhães are not expected to return until the new year.
- Midfielder Kai Havertz continues to rehabilitate from knee and "needs more time," as stated by the boss.
Arteta dismissed the idea that training methods were to blame, pointing to a shortage of opportunity for drills. He emphasized the strain on available players, some of whom have featured over 150 games in two years.
Transfer Plans
Even after a significant summer spend over £250 million, Arteta insisted the club is unlikely planning to dip into the January recruitment market.
"Right now we're just concentrating on bringing the players back and hopefully it will be a matter of a short time," he said. "It's clear how crucial those weeks are going to be."
Looking Ahead
The team experienced their first defeat in 18 games at the weekend, cutting their lead at the top of the Premier League to two clear points.
Attention now turns to the European stage, where a sixth group-stage victory would all but guarantee a top-eight finish. Forward Gabriel Martinelli could create history by finding the net in a fifth straight consecutive European match.
"The team is disappointed with the result, but we have to keep going," Martinelli stated. "It's not like all is going wrong because we lost one game. So we stick together."
