"Arsenal have suffered injuries to a number of key players throughout the season and will be without midfielder Declan Rice, defender William Saliba and forward Leandro Trossard for the match against Club Brugge in the league phase of the Champions League on Wednesday. Trossard, who scored in the loss to Aston Villa at the weekend, only just returned from injury but was brought off before the end of the game despite only being introduced as a second-half substitute."
""No, because we don't train." Arteta said referring to the short turnaround between games at this point in the season before saying his side trained for "20 minutes" on Tuesday. "We don't have time to train. So training is not there but obviously the fact that you are missing players, you are loading other players more [as] a consequence. It's a really dangerous circle that one.""
"Arsenal are still without forward Kai Havertz and defenders Gabriel Magalhaes and Cristhian Mosquera, while striker Viktor Gyokeres is just returning from injury. The Gunners have also made a change to their Champions League squad because of injury, with Gabriel Jesus, who has been out since January after cruciate ligament surgery, replacing 15-year-old Max Dowman - who picked up his injury playing for Arsenal Under-21s in a friendly against Manchester United on Saturday."
Arsenal have suffered multiple injuries this season, leaving Declan Rice, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard unavailable for the Club Brugge Champions League match. Trossard had only just returned from injury and was substituted after coming on as a second-half substitute. Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes and Cristhian Mosquera remain sidelined, while Viktor Gyokeres is just returning. Gabriel Jesus has been added to the Champions League squad, replacing 15-year-old Max Dowman after an Under-21s friendly injury. Mikel Arteta rejected overtraining as the cause, citing limited training time and a dangerous cycle of increased workload on fit players. Arteta and the medical team continue to examine injury causes, noting some players have played over 150 games in two seasons.
