Gunners’ growing injury list threatening title challenge‘We’ve been through a lot,’ says Arsenal manager
Mikel Arteta says he is relishing the challenge of maintaining a Premier League title push despite Arsenal’s growing injury list, insisting it is time to see “what the team is made of”.
Kai Havertz became the latest long-term absentee this week, the German ruled out for the rest of the season after damaging a hamstring during a warm-weather break in Dubai. Arteta said the “unexpected” injury had occurred when Havertz tried to block a free-kick in training but insisted the team’s experiences with adversity would make them resolute over the closing weeks.
