The Arsenal’s injury crisis has been aggravated by the news that Kai Haviertz, its only center -a senior, will be marked for the rest of the season.
The Emirate Stadium has sometimes been left exasperated by the profile of German, but their patience will be tested after their Injury to hamstring that ends up campaigning. With Gabriel Jesus already outside the rest of the term and the Aler Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli also in the treatment room, things could be done ugly during the closing months of the season.
Mikel Arteta, who still pursued Premier League and the success of the Champions League, will be forced to conjure some creative solutions after Arsenal He chose to strengthen his forwarding unit during the Recent January transfer window.
Here are three options for the arsenal, as they seem to survive without a new number …
Arsenal has remained with only three options in front until his injured attackers return, with the Raheem Sterling loan, Ethan Nwaneri, 17, and the inconsistent Leandro Trosard. The latter is very likely to fill in the gap formed by injuries to Haviertz and Jesus, with the Belgian, which has been used as a new number sporadically during its time in northern London.
Arteta will have little short -term choice, as the 30 -year -old versatile youngsters becomes his strongest option in front of them and the Arsenal head will desperately have to show at least a passable coverage.
Trosard would probably work on a false new role that allows its intense movement and its impressive agility to the central answers, with the two sides operating in the forged space behind the opposition defenses.
The former Brighton & Hove Albion star does not enjoy the biggest season of his career, but will have to improve in recent performances. He has scored only five goals from all over the term, compared to 17 of all competitions last season.
Many of the world’s most talented superstars have benefited from first -team injury to gaining their advances. This will be the hope that Arteta will stick to while frantically looking for solutions, with the impressive configuration of the Arsenal Academy that is probably called for the rest of the season.
As for the attackers, there are currently no many options calling at the door of the first team, but Nathan Butler-Oyedeji is one that has made an impression this season. The 22 -year -old young man won his debut in Arsenal against Dinamo Zagreb in January and has been on the bench for 12 games in total.
He has been lent to Accrington Stanley and Cheltenham Town in recent seasons, without great success, and has been prolific with the Academy. Khayon Edwards has also been in a good way within the arsenal youth teams and has made seven appearances in the One Leyton Orient League in the last term.
When it comes to expanding, ysal Kabia, who also debuted this term in Arsenal, and Charles Sagoe JR – who was on loan to Shrewsbury for the first half of the current campaign, are those that Arta could resort -Se. Both are very qualified and can win minutes between now and the end of the season.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and the arsenal could be forced to resort to the darkened waters of the free agent market. With the winter transfer window that was closed in early February, the Gunners have no choice but to guide the non -tight players if they choose to strengthen their squad from the outside.
There are not many inspirational names to chooseWith former Chelsea star, Diego Costa, among available veterans. Ex-Large Forwards Lucas Pérez and Carlos Vela are other emergency options.
A short contract until the end of the current campaign can be published to a first -flying experience player, but it is still difficult to imagine the Arsenal recruiting a 35 -year -old young man.
