Arsenal miss Gyokeres for Champions League match
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted he is concerned about Viktor Gyokeres' muscular injury sustained during Saturday's win over Burnley. The Swedish striker was substituted at half-time and missed Monday's training, ruling him out of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Slavia Prague. Arteta highlighted his worry given Gyokeres' explosive playing style and lack of previous muscular issues. The injury compounds Arsenal's attacking crisis with Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke and Martin Odegaard all sidelined, forcing Arteta to rely on makeshift solutions.
