If Mikel Arthte had received a notification of a spectacular failure of Manchester City this season, Arsenal manager may not have traded him for inheriting the injuries of key players he suffered during their unconvincing attempt to success of Cityzen as a champion.
At the end of February, the data from the site of the site of Site Transfermarkt showed that angry leaders of Liverpool lacked at least one key player for 10 games, and goalkeeper Alisson made up eight.
At that time, Bukayo from She was more in one match more than that total, as well as Captain Martin Odegaard for eight and on the front of Kai Havertz for five.
Since then, the Arsenal situation has worsened, including news on April 3 Gabriel It will be missing the rest of the season, making the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Real Madrid a week later, look even more tangled task.
101GREATGOALS.com looks at Arsenal’s trouble with injuries, possible return dates such as Gabriel, Riccard Calafiori and Kai Havertza and who could start in their remaining Premier League nodes and against the ruling European champions.
Let’s start with good news: After 101 days with his lower leg injury, he replaced Saka seven minutes after returning with what he proved to be a key goal in a Arsenal home 2-1 over Fulham on April 1.
The time of injury to England striker was particularly stuck because of the extraordinary start of the season, which Saka made, and his number spent the 23-year-old as the most influential creative player in Europe and firmly put him on a course to knock down the PREMIER League assist in one season of 20 years and was held by Arsenal Legend Henry and Manchester City.
Can he add his 11 league assists, and six goals can be irrelevant considering the gap of 12 points between Arsenal and Liverpool in early February, but his return and current influence could not be timely a week before the arrival of Madrid for the first eight cow’s game.
“It was special,” midfielder Declan Rice told the Optus Sport after winning Cottagers. “You’ve heard the audience reaction. It’s a special moment for B, because the socks worked for three and a half months.”

Arsenal fans will be familiar with the figures around the declining performances when Gabriel was injured, reminiscent of the influence of the Central Beck when the Brazilian international missed three matches with a knee injury in November and December.
In Fulham, they lowered points in one of those games, but they beat Manchester United and Monaco, leaving them in a percentage of a 44% victory without Gabriel from their debut 2020 and 64% when the 27-year-old was involved.
The obvious question is that Gabriel, who also contributed to five goals and three assists this season, would be more important than ever at the time when his team would miss the whole series. In addition to winning Monaco, he missed six minutes of their Champions League campaign.
“He’s sad for Gabi,” Arteta said after Gabriel lasted 16 minutes against Fulham before suffered an injury to the lower leg that would require surgery, adding that Jakub Kiwior was really wanted to play and would be fine (replacement).

Ben White’s versatility would be extremely useful arteches in moving with a front line meeting, including Like Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, only that the 27-year-old suffered from another knee problem in the training of less than a month after returning from surgery.
The former English international played in a combined nine minutes in the League of November 10, although one start appeared 79 minutes in the second part of the last 16 equalization against PSV on March 12, when Arsenal was 7-1 ahead of the first leg.
“Ben White has not participated at all this season,” said Arteta, who praised the natural right -back as a “truly important” with transformative qualities for the “team dynamics”.
“That’s what it is. You scratch your head. At the same time, it was a great experience of learning for us and all coaches and staff to manage the situation. You begin to pity yourself and say” it is impossible. “But these guys don’t give you a reason to act like this and we’ll see where we are in April.”

Takehiro Tomiyas first had a knee surgery in March 2023, and the right back was twice tried to make a return from the same edition of this season, culminating in “further corrective surgical procedure” on the right knee that ended the season in February.
The only appearance for Japan International, who also missed 13 games with the 20023/24 calf injury, was a six -minute trip home in Southampton on October 5.
“It was the hardest period of my career, for sure,” said the 26-year-old on February 18, sharing a photo of himself on the crutches in a post that attracted support for Gabriel. “Wear a little more, but I won’t give up.”
Tomiyas may not return by 2026 and will surely take at least 14 months without the start of the club; The last such opportunity was a goalkeeper in the victory of the house 2-1 over Everton in the last game of Arsenal last season.
Perhaps the most mysterious of Arsenal’s current injuries is the trouble that excludes Riccardo Calafiori to alleviate their problems.
The signature of Ā£ 33.7 million from Bologna was injured last July while playing for Italy on March 20, and has now missed more than 100 days of football this season, suffering three knee problems, the calf problem and muscle injury.
“His knee feels weird, but he can’t answer the question of what he feels,” said manager Azzurri Luciano Spalletti after the 22-year-old endured his latest failure, by All the market. “I can’t understand it right now.”
Calafiori’s return looked like he was stimulating fashion when he scored on March 4 and helped in his chest throwing PSV, but that was one of only three games in which he finished more than 45 minutes for Arsenal over more than three months. Arteta is optimistic for a refund date within a few weeks.

Another positive for Arthoma: Gabriel Martinelli finished 90 minutes for the first time in more than two months against Fulham, setting up Saka -O’s goal.
The striker had a stop of stops with injuries and fitness, and the most important thing was missing more than a month in February with a lower leg injury after running from three goals and assistants in eight appearances in the league.
Martinelli called Martinelli “top -notch” against Cottagers and estimated that he failed to maximize the attacker of Brazil, who missed almost seven weeks of last season with lower leg injuries, about three months of this campaign.
“You see how much we missed,” Arteta said. “That threat, that attacking purpose it has every time it is on the ball.”

In addition to City and West Ham, Arsenal lost players in a combined 338 days less than any other team who ended up in the upper half of last season – but 254 days missed Jurrien Timber with knee injury is mostly any individual except Aston Villa’s Trone Mings.
In what he was in the club in the club as a result, the Dutch international made 41 appearances at all competitions before receiving treatment and ran with knee injury against Fulham.
Arteta said Timber “fought very early in the game” with pain. “He managed to continue and, at some point, he couldn’t,” he added. “You can imagine – we lost four players in a defensive line in one week.”
No time range is given how long the 23-year-old might be out. Timber started his first international start for 20 months in the left back in a 4-0 victory over Hungary in November.
Mikel Arththa about dealing with injuries: “There was this whole season. Martinelli, lacking three months. Saka, four months. Havertz, four months. Jesus, almost the whole season. How have we been able to be where we are with all these injuries.” š¤ pic.twitter.com/3xyag8qhfy

After a short knee problem in October, Havertz added Arsenal’s Knee Hall for a horror of horror when he suffered an injury to the end of the season during the training camp in Dubai, re -inviting Attet to sign the attacker.
“He intended to stop the shot after the set-in-the-top and stretched his leg and felt him undermine,” Spanish said. “We had a great camp in Dubai.
“(We were) charging, training, we had some free time and connected with nature in a different environment. Then the injury happened in a very unexpected way.”
Four out of 15 hadtz goals and two of his three assists this season arrived in the Champions League. German International achieved another in the victory of a 5-1 house over Manchester City on February 2. In what proved to be his last appearance in the season.
The artea “Great Care” was justified after Gabriel Jesus was stretched out during the defeat of the Arsenal FA Cup in Manchester United on January 12, and Brazil International demanded surgery on the left knee.
The 28-year-old had more minor knee, knees and groin injuries since 2022 surgery on his right knee, and Artete said he could “understand” the calls to replace forward at the time.
“I can’t love our players anymore,” Artea claimed at the time. “I’m very focused on those I have to perform at the highest level.”
One possible consolation for the fans is that Jesus was not fertile this season, returning three goals and assistance from 23 leagues, the Champions League and the FA Cups.
The biggest questionnaire for Arteta is perhaps the right back. William Saliba is almost sure he will start in the center, with the newcomer of England Myles Lewis-Skelly in the left back.
Kiwior Left or Central Bek scored his first appearance in the league from December 8th when Gabriela replaced Fulham and played during the second leg against PSV.
The extremely experienced Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is also the left back, has barely introduced this season, but the second start of the Champions League campaign in the second game of the last 16 equalized, scoring his first hit in the competition.
The second left back, Kieran Tierney, just started his return from his knee injury in November when he also played against the Dutch side.
“We have other players who are amazing,” Rice thought about Arsenal’s injury. “We are ready to leave, no matter who we play against. Whoever chooses the manager will always be ready.”
