Actively looking for solutions, Arteta believes Arsenal are capable of dealing with the challenge of injuries


The "Gunners" Arsenal will go to Goodison Park to challenge the "Toffees" Everton in the new round of the Premier League. Coach Arteta said at the press conference that in order to deal with more injuries, the team must find new solutions, but he also believes that the team has the ability to cope with the difficult challenges ahead.


In the last round of the league, Arsenal defeated Fulham 2-1 with goals from Merino and Saka who returned to the team. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old defender Gabriel suffered a hamstring injury in the game and had to undergo surgery, so he will not be able to participate in the rest of the season.


Arsenal currently ranks second in the Premier League standings with 61 points, 12 points behind first-placed Liverpool, and will also have to take into account the Champions League games.


Speaking about Gabriel's condition, Arsenal manager Arteta said, "It's really hard for us to accept because we just welcomed Saka back and then lost Gabriel. It's really difficult, but the team responded as we have throughout the season, and I'm very proud of it. We all knew he would be out for a while, so we have to find new solutions and continue to be competitive like we have this season."


"We have come to this point and now is the most crucial and beautiful part of the season. We have to react, which means other players will have opportunities to play and the team has to find new ways forward. Gabriel's absence is of course a big loss, but we have the resources to deal with it."


Arteta also said, "Calafiori is still unable to play, which means we have lost four players in the past week. This is undoubtedly a big challenge, but we will see how Ben White and Timber recover. They have a chance to catch up with the game, and we must continue to play and compete as before."
