Arsenal is once again facing injury concerns for key players as the second international break unfolds. The Gunners previously lost influential captain Martin รdegaard during the September international fixtures, and now they are anxiously awaiting news on Bukayo Saka, who limped off during Englandโs disappointing 2-1 Nations League defeat to Greece at Wembley.
In addition to Saka, Kai Havertz and Thomas Partey had also withdrawn from international duty this week, adding to a list of existing injury issues. Manager Mikel Arteta is hoping to navigate these challenges as they aim to maintain momentum in their Premier League title pursuit, starting with a match against Bournemouth next weekend. Following that, Arsenal faces a busy October, including a home clash against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League and a vital game against league leaders Liverpool, along with a Carabao Cup encounter against Preston.
