Arsenal could be deprived of several key players for its quarter -final of the Champions League against Real Madrid, whose kick -off will be given at the Emirates Stadium next Tuesday.
Real Madrid is already considered favorite for the semi-finals, and its chances could now be higher, Arsenal being particularly concerned about the form of two important defenders, injured Tuesday in the victory against Fulham in the Premier League.
It was a mixed evening for Arsenal, Bukayo Saka having marked for his long -awaited return of injury. Except for time in the coming days, he will be able to face Real Madrid. On the other hand, it may not be the same for Gabriel Maghalaes and Jurrien Timber, both injured on Tuesday, according to Sport.
Mikel Arteta will have to do without two defenders against Real
The state of Gabriel is the one who worries the most arsenal, forced to leave the field in the first period due to an injury to the hamstrings. He is considered to be very uncertain for the first leg against Real, just like Jurrien Timber, forced to go out in the second period.
Arsenal had difficult weeks in terms of injuries, with Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White also affected. The team is also struggling to prepare for the match against Real Madrid. Mikel Arteta could therefore have few options at her disposal in the coming weeks.
Real Madrid will be delighted to face a reduced arsenal team in the Champions League, pursuing its quest for a title. However, its qualification is not guaranteed, because the Premier League team is very efficient, even without some of its most important players.
