Remind me again how the universe was gonna help us power through the rest of the season without injuries to our starters.
Shame about ESR but itās also a bit unsurprising at this stage. Clearly been dealing with some kind of fitness issue for most of the season. Hope he can shake it off eventually

ESR already struggling to stay fit with a limited fixture scheduleā¦
Gloria Swanson on the bench?
Seems to have been the case since he broke through Iām not sure there was ever a time he looked reliable from a fitness perspective. Big talent but I hope his body doesnāt let him down

Easy friend. Iāve run him through the checklist and he has very low fraud potential.
Itās normal for a youngster to struggle early on. Saka did at first too. But yeah, I feel ESR will be end up being someone like Reus with his injuries.
Just a sickness for ESR

Our bench is an abomination. We are desperate for good quality. Who really has game changing qualities on that bench outside of Pepe?

Hope Cedric can maintain his form. Iāve not seen him maintain consistency over a run of games at aArsenal yet, so cross fingers.
Arteta has been managing the hell out of his minutes and he still canāt seem to stay healthy, thatās what is really concerning. He hasnāt played more than 80 minutes in a match since November and has only started four matches across all comps since 12/2.

Even with a bench like this, Pepe will be subbed in the 80th min or something. Letās hope weāre winning by thenā¦
80th? Thatās way to soon.
Arteta loves a good 88 minute Pepe substitution.
Elneny
Very true. He has the potential to change the game in a bad way.
Tomiyasu being out is a concern too. Is this a new injury? I thought he was fit again.

Good news about ESR if true. Is it a calf injury that has had Tomi out this whole time?
