LondonWorld on MSNEverton vs Arsenal early injury news as 7 ruled out and 5 doubtsA look at the early injury news surrounding Arsenal and Everton as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.
After over 12 weeks on the sidelines following a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace in December, Arsenal's best attacker returned to full training.
Gabriel was the first of a string of senior players to sign new contracts with Arsenal over the past few years. He agreed terms in October 2022 and since then the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Saliba have followed suit.
In modern football, a solid defense is the bedrock of a team's combat effectiveness. However, for today's Arsenal, this foundation seems to be taking a severe hit. The injuries to Gabriel, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Jurrien Timber, and Jakub Kiwior have left the once elite Premier League defense without its core structure.
More than anything, both teams could really do with a new central striker to give them that little bit more firepower next season. As a result, reports have claimed that Alexander Isak is a prime target for Arsenal and Liverpool. But as the race begins to heat up, the Gunners may have just handed the advantage over.
After setbacks in the Champions League and Carabao Cup, Liverpool fear losing the Premier League title to Arsenal. Their coach, Arne Slot, is worried about losing out in the title race, ultimately being forgotten, and feeling frustrated for years.
