Arsenal's 2025/26 season has been plagued by a lengthy list of worrying injury news. Throughout the course of this season, several key players have been missing, and it's exacerbated a concerning trend over the last few seasons.
In fact, Mikel Arteta hasn't been able to field his strongest possible lineup at any point so far. Whenever one key player returns, another two drop to the floor.
So, with worrying Arsenal injury news coming left, right and center, we will be providing updates on the current players Arsenal are without.
