Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed significant concern over recent injuries to key defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber, just before an important Champions League match against Real Madrid. Despite Bukayo Saka's return and match-winning goal against Fulham, the team is grappling with multiple defensive injuries, including Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori. Arteta reflected on how prior injury experiences have taught the team resilience, emphasizing their ability to cope throughout the season despite ongoing fitness challenges.
"If there are two players in this team who never want to come off, it's those two probably. Gabi felt something in his hamstring, we don't know how big that is."
"The good thing is it's been like this all season. You see [Gabriel] Martinelli today, we missed him for three months. You see Bukayo, four months."
