For a while Arsenal became something of a laughing stock when it came to long-term injuries, with the likes of Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey all spending considerable amounts of time on the sidelines.
This season their record has improved considerably, however, and according to manager Arsene Wenger, this is thanks to the club participating in the Europa League.
As reported by the Evening Standard, the Frenchman believes that his ability to rotate the squad more and rest key players for European games this season has meant that fewer players have been susceptible to playing too much and thus risking injuries.
