With the World Cup taking place in the middle of the Premier League season, injuries to key players are a fan's worst nightmare, especially if you are an Arsenal supporter.
The Gunners find themselves top of the table after 14 games and five points ahead of current champions Manchester City, however, with nine players currently representing their countries in Qatar, fitness concerns still linger.
Seven of those nine players are guaranteed starters under Mikel Arteta, with the likes of William Saliba, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus in action, but it is the duo of Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu who have perhaps been monitored the closest due to their recent injury record.
