Arsenal have suffered plenty of injury problems over the course of the international break, adding to their existing problems. While the transparency that the Gunners provide to supporters has been ever-present, there has, expectantly, been a dip in content during the break.
However, on Thursday, Arsenal released an insight into the team’s latest training session with the players now having returned from duty. Gabriel Magalhaes only arrived yesterday after a long flight from Brazil and was all smiles on the day.
Declan Rice, Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori, too, among others, were looking positive. However, the benefits were quickly extinguished as fears began to bubble away as plenty of the senior playing staff were not spotted.
In fact, as many as nine were not seen in the photos. Martin Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz, Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are not clipped up in the selection made available to fans.
