Arsenal are up there in terms of challenging for the Premier League title this season but if they want to do it then dealing with injury issues is something they will have to do.
The best clubs adapt and find ways to win even when their best players are out.
That is what sets Manchester City apart to everyone else. When they have injuries to key players they have been able to find other players who can slot into their system nicely. They had Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland out for a long period of time last season but they still went on to win the league.
If Arsenal want to be serious in their hunt for a title then they have to do the same as the reigning champions.
