"Arsenal's title run-in could be looking increasingly under threat as the injuries appear to be stacking up during the international break. A number of Arsenal players such as William Saliba and Gabriel did not go on international duty but with Noni Madueke leaving Wembley in a protective leg brace last night, Gunners fans are now panicking."
"Ethan Nwaneri could join Noni Madueke on the Arsenal sidelines. While not part of the squad at the moment due to his loan spell in Marseille, some Arsenal fans were questioning Nwaneri and a potential recall clause after seeing Madueke go down."
"If not, and Madueke also misses out on the senior squad, that will be two players in a week from the Arsenal ranks. With other players involved such as Ben White, Viktor Gyokeres and Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal fans and Mikel Arteta will be waiting with bated breath to see if they make it through okay."
"Indeed, if it does happen, the age old argument of having international fixtures this late in the season will rear its head again."
Arsenal's title hopes are jeopardized as injuries accumulate during the international break. Key players like William Saliba and Gabriel did not participate in international duty, but Noni Madueke's injury has raised alarms among fans. Ethan Nwaneri, currently on loan, also suffered an injury while playing for the England under-21 team. With the potential absence of both players, Arsenal's squad depth is tested. Fans and management are anxious about the impact of further injuries at this critical stage of the season, which could lead to discussions about the timing of international fixtures.
