Arsenal's Injury Crisis Ahead of Manchester City Clash
Arsenal faces a crisis with several key players missing, including Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Jurrien Timber, ahead of their crucial match against Manchester City.
Manchester City will host Premier League leaders Arsenal on April 19, with a win potentially allowing City to catch up with the Gunners in the points table.
Ahead of this crucial match, Arsenal is facing issues with their squad due to injuries.
According to recent reports, five players - Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Jurrien Timber - did not participate in the latest training sessions, causing concern.
Declan Rice, who played the full match in Arsenal's recent 1-2 loss to Bournemouth, was unexpectedly absent from training.
Bukayo Saka is still struggling with muscle problems and missed the last three games, while team captain Martin Odegaard has been out due to a knee injury sustained in the first leg against Sporting in Lisbon.
Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori's absence from group training sessions also limits Mikel Arteta's options for team selection.
If these players are unable to recover by April 19, Manchester City will become the favorites for the upcoming match.
