LONDON : The only cloud on the horizon for Arsenal in an otherwise perfect afternoon in north London was a lengthening injury list that will have manager Mikel Arteta touching any wood he can find during the international break.
Asked about Tomiyasu's knee injury, sustained in the Europa League penalty shoot-out defeat by Sporting on Thursday, Arteta said the Japanese player could be missing for a while. "We lost players, we lost Gabi for four months, we lost Thomas for one and a half months, we lost Alex Zinchenko for one and a half months, we lost Mo Elneny for six to eight months. Now we've lost Eddie and Tomiyasu or Saliba," he said.
"I want to think positively. Touch wood, but I want to think positive. They're going to have to play games, they have to do it in the way that they do it here or possibly even better with their country," Arteta said.
