    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Arsenal can't seem to get a break from injuries this season as Mikel Arteta's side's season started with multiple major injuries in defence. However, that injury crisis has now progressed into the attack of the Gunners with Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz having picked up major injuries. Jesus and Havertz have been confirmed to be out for the rest of the season, while Saka is expected to return towards the end of the season.
