On September 7, the British Daily Mail wrote an article about the injury of Premier League Gunner Arsenal. According to their statistics, after Saliba was injured, Arsenal had 6 main players and rotation players injured in one month of the new season, which was a heavy loss.

The French team led by Deschamps is competing in the World Cup qualifiers, but Saliba, as the team's main central defender, does not accompany the team. Because in the third round of the Premier League, Arsenal played away against Liverpool, Saliba, who started the game, suffered an ankle injury and was replaced by young player Christian Moscarra after only 5 minutes. According to France, Saliba is expected to be out for 3-4 weeks. This also means that not only did he miss the chance to play for the national team, but Arsenal will have strong Premier League dialogues with Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle, as well as the first round of the Champions League first phase of the Champions League that challenged Athletic Bilbao away, Saliba will also be exempted from the game. This is undoubtedly a major blow to Arsenal.

Of course, Saliba is not alone. Because there are still many people on Arsenal's injury list. First of all, the Gunners’ number one star Saka. He was substituted in the second round of the Premier League in which Arsenal swept Leeds United 5-0 and was later diagnosed with a tendon injury. He is likely to miss the match against Forest and Athletic Bilbao, but is expected to catch up with home games against Manchester City. In addition, Havertz suffered a knee injury, and Ben White and Nellgao were also troubled by injuries. Brazilian striker Jesus suffered a torn ACL last season and is still fighting injuries. He is not even listed on the Gunners' Champions League roster.

encountered so many injuries in one month of the start of the game, which is not good news for the Gunners who are determined to compete for the championship. Of course, coach Arteta would not worry about it because he still has enough manpower. This summer, Arsenal signed strong players such as Kepa, Maduaike, Dzekelish, Subimedi, Christian Moscra and Inkapier, and their strength in three lines has increased significantly. Therefore, even if the six generals hang out the battle cards, Tama still has the ease in the arrangement of troops.

However, the injuries of several beloved generals really reminded Tashi and the Gunner. They need to do better in terms of lineup rotation and training methods. In the previous three seasons, the Gunners' record in the Premier League was quite good, but it was still a bit embarrassing to play for three consecutive seasons. The reason for this is that there are too many injuries. Last season, their number one star Sakak was out of the game for four months due to injury and ended up playing only 37 games. Center Havertz almost got reimbursed for the season. In addition, the main center Gabriel was also seriously injured at the most critical moment of the Premier League championship. The final eight rounds of the Premier League and the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals can only be watched from the wall.

To be honest, Arteta did not do very well in player rotation. Of course, this is also directly related to the average depth of the Gunners' bench, and the large difference in strength between the main players and the substitutes. Nowadays, the gunmen recruited troops and the team was full of powerful generals, and the problem of depth on the bench has been perfectly solved. Next, Arteta and his coaching team have the conditions and are necessary to do better, so that the Gunners can maintain hope of winning the championship.
