Arsenal Facing Injury Crisis
Manager Mikel Arteta is facing a major selection headache as his side prepares for a pivotal week that includes a must-win game against Manchester City.
In addition to Rice and Saka, the Gunners are also monitoring the fitness of Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori.
Despite the setbacks, Arteta remains defiant, insisting he has 'zero fear' of a season collapse and urging his players to play with 'pure fire.' The injury concerns come at a time when Arsenal's lead at the top of the Premier League has been cut to six points, leaving little room for error in the final stretch of the season.
