Arsenal midfielder Lia Walti has admitted last season was "really difficult" for the Gunners but says their injury crisis has helped bring the team closer together.
Arsenal finished the season in third place, meaning they will advance to next season's Champions League qualifiers. Jonas Eidevall's side also lifted the Continental Tyres League Cup, beating Chelsea in the final at Selhurst Park.
Both feats are impressive when you consider the Gunners spent much of the campaign without their two talismans in attack. Both Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema ruptured their anterior cruciate ligaments [ACL] before Christmas, while defenders Leah Williamson and Laura Wienroither also sustained ACL injuries later in the season.
