Arsenal may not have been in action across the first weekend in February, but a number of their loan stars were.
As the Gunners were extremely busy in the summer transfer window, signing no less than six players, manager Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu had to trim the size of the first-team squad and beyond.
So what started out as a 17-man strong loan army when the summer transfer window closed has since increased to 22 with all the movement during the January transfer window.
