Injuries are an inherent aspect of football, and clubs strive to minimise the number of players sidelined during a season. However, players can still be prone to physical problems, leading to key absences for various teams this term.
According to The Daily Mail, Liverpool currently tops the list with the most injured players, with ten players unavailable for the Reds. Chelsea follows closely behind with nine players on the treatment table. Newcastle and Sheffield United come next with eight players each missing.
Crystal Palace has seven players currently unavailable due to injuries. then Arsenal, Bournemouth, Luton, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Brentford follow with each club having six injured players.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Injuries are a part of the game, and that is why clubs keep a large squad to work with.
We have some of Europe’s top players in our squad, and the depth of talent is a reason we continue to do well in the league despite missing key men.
Hopefully, none of those performing well for us now will be injured until the end of the season.

the most injured ‘players’
or the most injured ‘player’
it is money down the drain and a strategy distraction to have the forever injured / rarely available Partey
and he is actually not that great, i remember Partey disaster area v Palace two season ago that cost us massively
get rid so Arsenal can get on
It seems that there are “tons” more clubs with “tons” more injuries than we have!!
At least we seem only to have Timber as a long term injury, although MA has named him in his CL squad.
If we don’t make more chances and shots in the second leg, he won’t be needed anyway.
It is simply untrue totry suggesting w ehave mor injurie sthsn most of our mainrivals City have has several ket player out , some for almost the whole season til now ,and others also out for months. Liverpool are devastated with key injuries but cope well, Spurs lost many key players, most now back. Chelsea and United had loads of injury problems too.
Lower rivals do not concern us much, so there is no real story to be made out of injuries to Fulham, Brentford, Everton, Forest , Luton, Sheff Utd and co.
So essentially this is a concocted story based on nothing much out of the ordinary at alll
Our injuries are about average and no worse than usual.
REALITY!
Let’s hope those who have been using our injuries as an explanation as to why we, sometimes, play badly read the article and our comments Jon.
What really made me smile though, was the argument that a previous manager didn’t have such injury problems, then complained that said manager only bought injury proned players and / or kept those players for too long!!
Intersting that we callit an “article” KEN , when in reality it was scarcely saying anything at all that was not alredy widely known.
The only difference I suggest, is beween those who still cry” woe is us, all our best players are injured” and those of us, you and I included , who use our long experience in football to know that our injuries this season are about par for the usual course.
The “article” chose not mention – though it easily could have done,had the writer chosen to give more depth to his usual BRIEF comments, that ALL our proven players, Saka, Saliba, Rice, Gabriel, – UNLIKE LIVERPOOLS MANY KEY PLAYER INJURIES – have scarcely mIssed a game between them all.
CONTEXT is only given to thinkers, I find KEN!
Admin, Your attack on Partey is just the same you subjected PEPE to. He is now the “injury posterboy who must be replaced” by a fit player who can contribute much more ,he is a waste of money etc. Please let us all support injured players. In real life if someone is sick we dont wish they could die we wish them a speed recovery. I am also thinking that the AFC medical team must try their best to keep them fit.
JF makes the strong point that not only have Liverpool been crippled with injuries, they are also to key players
I do believe that it’s the key players rather than the actual numbers. At one point in our season we were without Jesus, Partey and Odegaard. We will never know if Timber’s absence has been crucial but I suggest that it’s been an important loss. Arteta would have had to review his plans considerably after game one.
However, I’m in no way making a case for our injuries having materially affected our season; it is part and parcel
