"Arsenal have been dealt with bad injury news, on top of a red card. The Gunners had an excellent weekend in which major rivals all lost and demons were exorcised at St. James' Park in a 2-1 win where Mikel Arteta's side made a major statement over their title credentials. Arsenal now sit just two points behind leaders Liverpool but Arteta will know that this is a long season, with luck having deserted his side already with injuries."
"We're just six games into the season, but Arteta has already had to deal with injuries to several key players as he juggles four competitions with three first-half substitutions enforced in Arsenal's first four fixtures. Bukayo Saka hobbled off against Leeds United, William Saliba has only just returned from an ankle injury, while Martin Odegaard has already been forced off twice and that's without touching on issues sustained by Ben White, Piero Hincapie, Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz at this early point in the season."
"It gets even worse for Arsenal but indirectly as Fabio Vieira appeared to suffer a serious knee injury on loan at Hamburg in the Bundesliga at the weekend. The Athletic reported over the summer that the Gunners were looking at a 17 million buy-out clause for a loan exit for the Portuguese, who eventually moved to HSV after talks with Stuttgart broke down."
Arsenal recorded a 2-1 win at St. James' Park but also suffered bad injury news and a red card, leaving them two points behind Liverpool. The club has encountered numerous injuries within six games, forcing multiple early substitutions across competitions. Key players affected include Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Martin Odegaard, with additional issues for Ben White, Piero Hincapie, Noni Madueke and Kai Havertz. Fabio Vieira, on loan at Hamburg, appeared to sustain a serious knee injury and was dismissed late against Union Berlin. Both clubs are assessing potential ACL damage and the loan's financial implications.
