Injury Woe Dominates Arsenal Squad As Three Players Risk Missing Real Madrid Clash
Three Arsenal players, Ben White, Thomas Partey, and Jorginho are injury doubts ahead of their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta who confirmed to sports writers said despite a commanding 3-0 first leg win at the Emirates, it is likely they travel to Spain with a depleted squad.
White missed the weekend’s 1-1 draw with Brentford after picking up a training knock, while Partey and Jorginho were both forced off during the match—Partey with discomfort and Jorginho due to a rib injury affecting his breathing.
“We didn’t want to take any risks,” Arteta said post-match, adding that Partey would be assessed further.
The Gunners are already without several key players, including Saka, Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus, and Havertz.
Injuries have derailed their Premier League title push, with Liverpool now close to clinching the crown.
