Several Premier League players are facing injury challenges as the season progresses.
Arsenal’s Defensive Crisis
Arsenal’s defense has been significantly impacted by injuries:
- Gabriel Magalhães: The Brazilian center-back will miss the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury sustained during the 2-1 win over Fulham. He requires surgery and aims to return at the start of next season.
- Jurriën Timber and Ben White: Both defenders are dealing with knee injuries, leaving manager Mikel Arteta with limited options in defense.
- Riccardo Calafiori: The defender is out for at least two weeks due to injury.
- Takehiro Tomiyasu: Expected to be sidelined until the end of the year after knee surgery.
These absences pose significant challenges for Arsenal, especially with upcoming fixtures, including a Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
Newcastle United’s Fitness Concerns
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is taking a cautious approach with striker Alexander Isak’s fitness after a recent substitution raised concerns. Additionally, defender Kieran Trippier is listed as doubtful for the upcoming match due to a minor injury.
Ola Aina’s Setback
Fulham’s defender Ola Aina is set for a spell on the sidelines after a calf injury, though the exact duration of his absence is yet to be determined.
