‘Full recovery’ – Arsenal received a significant injury boost in preparation for their upcoming matches against Atalanta and Manchester City…

Arsenal fans receive significant injury news as they prepare for upcoming matches against Atalanta and Manchester City.

Arsenal fans can breathe a sigh of relief as they are informed of a full recovery for key players just in time for the matches against Atalanta and Manchester City.

Ahead of the clashes with Atalanta and Manchester City, Arsenal fans are optimistic following reports of a full recovery for injured players.

The focus is on star player Bukayo Saka, who exited the pitch during Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham.

 

Saka, who played a crucial role in setting up Gabriel’s winning goal, left the game with concerns about his fitness.

 

Despite the tense nature of the match, Mikel Arteta’s team emerged victorious, but they were already facing challenges with several key players unavailable, including captain Martin Odegaard.

 

With the Champions League debut approaching and a crucial match against Manchester City on the horizon, the Gunners were anxious to avoid further injuries.

 

Saka’s early departure raised alarms, as he requested to be substituted. Post-match, Arteta commented on the situation, stating, “Saka went down.

 

I don’t know exactly what it is, but he said he could not continue.” Fortunately, recent updates suggest that the situation may not be as dire as initially feared.

 

Reports indicate that the club is optimistic about Saka’s recovery, with indications that he was experiencing cramps, which should allow him to be fit for both upcoming fixtures.

 

Additionally, Gabriel Jesus has provided a boost to the squad by returning from his groin injury, making a late appearance in the match against Spurs.

 

As Arsenal prepares for Thursday’s European encounter, they will also see the return of Declan Rice, who missed the last game due to a suspension.

 

However, they will still be without Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Mikel Merino (shoulder), and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Ethan Nwaneri proves Cesc Fabregas’ point with Spurs cameo

With Martin Odegaard’s injury on international duty, Mikel Arteta had a choice to make about Ethan Nwaneri.

The midfielder has still never made a start for Arsenal, and the sum total of his senior minutes was just 14 ahead of Sunday’s game, away to Tottenham Hotspur.
Yet with Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira gone, Arteta was lacking experienced alternatives to Odegaard. Could he afford to use Nwaneri in a game of this magnitude?
Speaking about the possibility ahead of the match, former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas suggested that Arteta wouldn’t just throw Nwaneri on for the sake of it. He’d only use the teenager if he felt he was ready for it.
“I have no doubts if Mikel puts him in the starting 11 or even during the game, it’s because he’s seen that he’s good enough to make an impact,” Fabregas said.
“Obviously, the consequences of Rice and Odegaard being out makes it a little bit faster than maybe what he would have liked.
“If he’s part of the squad, it’s because he [Arteta] really believes he can bring something to the table.”
In the end, Nwaneri did come on at a crucial point in the game, playing the last 10 minutes as a replacement for Bukayo Saka with Arsenal just 1-0 up. And he made the most of those minutes.
The youngster’s touch was that of a seasoned pro on a couple of occasions, helping the team to get up the pitch and keeping his head to play smart passes.
Nwaneri’s late block on a shot by Heung-min Son showed he was also willing to work out of possession to get the result across the line.
As Fabregas points out, if Arteta trusts Nwaneri enough to throw him on late in a north London derby, it’s because he believes he can handle it. On this occasion, the teenager proved him right

Arsenal’s best signing under Mikel Arteta emerges as Gunners beat Spurs without 7 key players

The Gunners went into their biggest game of the season without Kieran Tierney, Maritn Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mikel Merino. Riccardo Calalfiori and Declan Rice, while Gabriel Jesus was only fit enough for the bench. It was enough to give even Mikel Arteta nightmares.

Even with all this going against them, Arsenal found a way to win. The North London Derby is one of the most consistently entertaining fixtures in the Premier League. This though is not one that will live long in the memory. Arteta won’t care.

Why Mikel Arteta shouted at Bukayo Saka as Arsenal send Man City clear message at Tottenham

Arsenal ensured they kept pace with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League by beating arch rivals Tottenham 1-0 on Sunday afternoon.

A second half Gabriel header was enough for the Gunners as Spurs struggled to create any clear cut chances. “Super happy obviously,” Mikel Arteta said after the game. “We know what it means to our club and our people to win a North London Derby. We have the power to make them very happy so hopefully we achieved that.

Alan Shearer showers praise on Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes after heroics against Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes grabbed the winner for the Gunners in the 64th minute against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, ensuring they returned to winning ways after the disappointing 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion before the international break.

The North Londoners played Spurs with a decimated squad, with Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko all missing the game.

However, it did not stop Arsenal from winning, and Alan Shearer was impressed with Gabriel, showering praise on the Brazilian defender on the latest episode of the Rest is Football podcast.

Mikel Arteta provides fresh injury update on Martin Odegaard after win vs Spurs

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh injury update on Martin Odegaard following the club’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Gunners returned to winning ways with a hard-fought victory over their north London rivals on Sunday. They went into the game with a weakened squad with the likes of Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko sidelined with injury concerns.

Declan Rice was also suspended for the derby. Despite this, they secured maximum points from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Gabriel Magalhaes scored the solitary goal after he was handed a free header in the box from a corner in the 64th minute.

Speaking after the game, Arteta was presented with several questions by reporters and one of those was focused on Odegaard, who did not make the trip due to an ankle injury sustained on Nations League duty with Norway against Austria earlier in the week.

Saka, Odegaard, Calafiori – Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of Atalanta

Arsenal returned to action in style on Sunday as they continued their recent dominance against Tottenham Hotspur with a 1-0 win in the Premier League. Gabriel Magalhaes’ second-half header was the difference to retain the north London bragging rights.

Mikel Arteta’s men were back to their best in parts. Despite being without Declan Rice due to suspension and Martin Odegaard to injury, Arsenal kept their fierce rivals at bay and looked a threat on the attack.

September presents a hectic schedule for the Gunners and this week, their UEFA Champions League campaign starts against Serie A side and Europa League champions Atalanta.

The Arsenal captain missed the north London derby win after suffering an ankle injury during the international break. Arteta refused to rule him out on Friday but he was left out of the squad altogether.

Why Jurrien Timber was not sent off against Tottenham

Timber initially put his foot on the ball in the challenge, but then made contact with Porro. Gary Neville noted that the challenge reminded him of one which saw Curtis Jones sent off against Tottenham last season. Unlike Jones however, Timber did remain on the pitch.

Neville shared what the reason was for not upgrading the card to red.
“Just hearing what has been fed into the VAR at Stockley Park. They said Timber puts his foot on the ball and it doesn’t roll over, which is what saved it from being a red card,” he said.

Arsenal now has the best centre-back pairing in Europe says pundit

Matthew Upson was impressed with Arsenal’s win against Tottenham, particularly their defence, which stood out to him.

Gabriel Magalhães was deservedly named Man of the Match after a stellar performance that included scoring the only goal of the game.

William Saliba was also on top form, successfully thwarting several Tottenham attacks.

The partnership between the Frenchman and Gabriel looks formidable, making it difficult for other defenders to break into Arsenal’s starting lineup.

In the match against Tottenham, they showcased their quality and the strength of their partnership, leading Upson to conclude that they are currently the best defensive duo in Europe.
