No doubt this will be a blow to Jonas Eidevall and the Arsenal Women squad as they have been struggling on the goal-scoring front in the WSL since returning from Christmas break, dropping 7 WSL points in the process with 2 draws (1-1 Chelsea, 0-0 West Ham) and a defeat to Manchester City (2-1), leaving them languishing in 4th place in the WSL league table.
Arsenal’s first 2 games after returning from international break are against Chelsea, firstly in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup 5th round on Sunday 26th February at Kingsmeadow. Arsenal then face Chelsea again the following week in the FA Conti Cup semi-final. No easy feat, made all the more difficult with Hurtig not being match-fit.
Let’s hope our Gunners don’t pick up any more injuries during the international break..
How do you think this might affect the Gunners against Chelsea?
