The latest Arsenal injury update indicates the Gunners could be without seven first-team players for Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Monaco.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh Injury Concerns for Arsenal<\/h3>\n

The latest training session at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Tuesday afternoon revealed fresh worries for Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey were notable absentees, joining the already sidelined Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, and Oleksandr Zinchenko.<\/p>\n

Adding to the defensive woes, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White<\/a> are also unavailable, meaning Arsenal could be without as many as seven key players for Wednesday night’s clash.<\/p>\n

Timber and Partey\u2019s absence is particularly concerning, as both featured in Sunday\u2019s 1-1\u00a0 draw with Fulham<\/a> in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Partey, deployed at right-back, and Timber, at left-back, had stepped into the makeshift defensive line. Their absence raises significant questions about how Mikel Arteta<\/a> will assemble his backline against Monaco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arteta Addresses Injury Concerns<\/h3>\n

Speaking after the Fulham game, Arteta expressed cautious optimism about the recovery of Gabriel, Calafiori, and Zinchenko.<\/p>\n

However, the latest Arsenal injury update casts doubt on their availability. “I hope, but it\u2019s more a question for the doctors and physios to understand where we are,” Arteta said.<\/p>\n

“We are missing a lot of players in the backline. The good thing is that whatever we put there, they respond\u2014with good attitude and performance.”<\/p>\n

“But we know that when we have consistency there [in defence], it\u2019s a huge advantage. This season is bringing different challenges, and we\u2019re trying to face them.”<\/p>\n

Defensive Dilemma<\/h3>\n

With four defenders\u2014Gabriel, Calafiori, Zinchenko, and Timber\u2014in doubt and both Tomiyasu and White unavailable, Arsenal\u2019s defensive options are severely limited.<\/p>\n

Even Partey has filled in at right-back multiple times this season \u2013 he could miss the Monaco clash too.<\/p>\n

Arteta may have to turn to younger or less experienced players to fill the gaps in his lineup.<\/p>\n

One likely option is 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has featured six times already this season, with most of his appearances coming at left-back.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, Arteta could turn to Kieran Tierney, who hasn’t featured for the Gunners since the 2023 Community Shield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
