Arsenal injuries continue to pile up

Arsenal's attacking woes continue as Viktor Gyokeres is sure to be ruled out with an injury, considering he is not been selected for Sweden during the international break. With the Swede sidelined, and other key attackers like Jesus, Havertz, Martinelli and Madueke also unavailable, the spotlight falls on Mikel Merino to lead the line along with Trossard and Saka on either side till those players return to full fitness.

Dowman's Champions League Debut

Young Max Dowman, at just 15 years and 308 days old, has etched his name into the Champions League history books. His appearance against Slavia Prague makes him the youngest player ever to grace the competition, surpassing the previous record held by Youssoufa Moukoko.

Dowman's composure and skill, as noted by Mikel Arteta, are truly remarkable for someone so young. The future is bright for this young Gunner, and we can't wait to see what he achieves!
