Someone call a doctor and send them directly to Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta’s options are rapidly diminishing; Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard the latest to join an injury list that is burgeoning.
Add those to Jurrien Timber (knee), Thomas Partey (groin) and Gabriel Martinelli (hamstring) and, all of a sudden, there’s a whiff of crisis in the air at the club’s London Colney HQ.
The irony of it all won’t be lost on Arteta. Club doctor Gary O’Driscoll, who has spent a period on gardening leave after accepting the role as head of sports medicine at Manchester United earlier this year, is gone and his successor is yet to be confirmed.
