Mikel Timber was forced off late in the game against Brighton, raising concerns for Arsenal. Arteta reassured that it was just cramp, not serious.
The controversial sending-off of Declan Rice for delaying the restart added to the agony as Arsenal failed to maintain their lead against Brighton.
Arteta emphasized Timber's importance, highlighting he only returned to play after undergoing a significant recovery from a prior ACL injury.
Fans will have to wait a few weeks to see Mikel Merino play, as he reportedly suffered a shoulder fracture.
