There is a focus for Arsenal already on the upcoming summer transfer window despite both the Premier League and the title race not yet concluded. Injuries to key players throughout the season have already sparked both reflection and theorising on how the Gunners can be better prepared next season which will of course include a return to the Champions League.
William Saliba has been missing since the Europa League last-16 defeat to Sporting CP after suffering a back injury. Mikel Arteta maintains that the club is yet to rule him out for the remainder of the season but the Frenchman appears no closer to a return.
Gabriel Magalhaes is also a doubt for this weekend’s game against Newcastle United after football.london understood he suffered an ankle injury against Chelsea, although there is some optimism in a potential return.
