Arsenal have lost four players to injury this season already after just the opening four games. Reiss Nelson first suffered an issue that will keep him out for as much as two months, whilst both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey have suffered minor issues.
Arsenal have also now lost Mohamed Elneny to a significant injury and as a result, could dip into the transfer market to help support Granit Xhaka and Albert Sambi Lokonga. However, Bukayo Saka could become a victim of the latest blow to the midfield.
With Arsenal needing now to focus their potential end-of-window investment in midfield and Nicolas Pepe loaned to Nice, Saka finds himself as the only natural senior right-winger at the club. Fabio Vieira could potentially play the role, but he is yet to make his debut and his defined role is yet to be established.
