No Games Until Next Month

Looks like the Gunners won't be walking on to a pitch anytime soon, with the domestic break following the death of the Queen and the annoying international break taking place in September, it means up to 3 fixtures have to be moved.

If it goes as suggested Arsenal might not be in action until the north London derby against Tottenham on October 1. While pretty lame considering Arsenal's form of late, the extended break could allow Arteta to get the likes of Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, and Reiss Nelson back to full fitness.

Partey was a significant loss for Arsenal at the beginning of the season, with the midfielder suffering a thigh injury and while he limped off, Arsenal limped on with Lakonga, who was completely exposed against united.

On September 2, Arteta said:

“With Thomas, hopefully, we are talking weeks or even shorter than that, I hope.”

Fellow midfielder Smith Rowe has also struggled with injuries in the opening month of the campaign has had some sub-appearances, but he just hasn't looked sharp. The 21-year-old endured an injury-hit pre-season and has played just 47 minutes of football this term, across four matches and is starting to give off a real Jack Wilshire vibe, which is a shame because the boy is a huge talent when running with the ball.

Nelson has not seen a start for Arsenal this season, deciding to stay at the club instead of leaving or going out on loan again, had an okay pre-season before he pulled up injured.

Wanting to play off the left, means he has to compete with Martinelli, and I doubt he has the chops to do that, so he will probably feature in cup games or if Gabby requires a rest.
