Arsenal showcased their impressive attacking prowess once again in the Premier League on Monday, securing a commanding 6-0 victory over Sheffield United.
This marked their fourth game since late January where they’ve scored four or more goals and extended their winning streak to seven consecutive league matches.
However, concerns arose regarding the fitness of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, who were substituted early in the game due to suspected injuries.
Manager Mikel Arteta addressed these concerns in a press conference, reassuring that both players were dealing with minor issues. Saka was feeling unwell, providing an opportunity for Fabio Vieira to get some playing time, while Martinelli had a minor foot injury.
In addition to the updates on Saka and Martinelli, Arteta discussed the return of midfielder Thomas Partey, who made his comeback after a four-month absence due to injury.
Partey played 25 minutes in the match, and Arteta emphasized the importance of gradually increasing his playing time to regain match fitness.
Looking ahead, Arsenal fans will be hoping for the availability of all three players for the upcoming crucial fixture against Brentford at the Emirates Stadium.
