Will Arsenal's January transfer plans change with injuries?

The January transfer window might be open, and Arsenal is dealing with a host of injuries plus a virus sweeping through the team, but it's as you were with the Gunners' transfer plans.

Given that it seems logical, at least from the outside, that Arsenal should invest in bringing in a player or two over the coming days or weeks to help alleviate the stress put on the current squad with a host of players unavailable, it appears Arsenal isn't in too much of a hurry to get something done.

As things stand, Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Raheem Sterling are out, while Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard both have a question mark hanging over them due to a virus sweeping through the team.

That is a lot of first-teamers on the sidelines, which means that the fit players in the squad are having to do double duty more often than not, and if reports are to be believed, that is what contributed to Saka's hamstring injury.

Right now, it seems like the Carabao Cup might be the best chance for the Gunners to get silverware this season given how things are going in the Premier League with Liverpool showing everyone a clean set of heels so far.

The Champions League looks unlikely with the injury list Arteta is dealing with, so that leaves the domestic cup competitions, and with Arsenal at home to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup first leg, this is a golden chance to put distance between themselves and the Magpies before the second leg at St. James' Park.

But don't forget about possibly adding to the squad either.
