Arsenal travel to the south coast this weekend to get their Premier League ambitions back underway following the international break. Mikel Arteta was in a jovial mood during Friday’s press conference when reminded of his comments of fear regarding injuries but this was certainly schadenfreude.
It is incredibly frustrating to see yet more players join Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko having suffered problems in September that see them missing to this day. Some like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli appear to have escaped similarly long-term problems, though, and Arteta spoke positively about their potential availability.
