Arsenal Injury Drama: Mikel Arteta Dey Shaff About His Stars

LONDON, England – E be like say Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, don see plenty wahala ahead of dem trip to St James’ Park dis Sunday. Na during hin pre-match press conference for Sobha Realty Training Centre on Friday, Arteta come talk about di latest update on di team, especially di boys wey dey face injury wahala.

First, dem ask am about Martin Ødegaard, and Arteta no waste time talk say, “Martin go dey train wit us di next two days, so we dey hope say e go fit for di game.” Na good news, abi?

Next matter na Bukayo Saka, who just play 63 minutes for di 2-0 win against Port Vale wen dem enter di third round of di Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. Arteta talk say di substitution na strategy as dem replace am wit Max Dowman. “Yeah, nothing to report there. I think he played di games we anticipated, he dey okay, and he go dey train di next few days.” (No be so e suppose be? We go manage Saka well, no make am tire for us.)

But no be all gist dey sweet. Dem still dey wait on di report for Noni Madueke, wey carry body wan injury at half-time for di 1-1 draw wey dem get against Manchester City last weekend. Na wah! No updates for other injured players too, like Piero Hincapie, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus.

Lay your palm wine down make we talk serious matter. Last season, injury don make Arsenal no fit chase di title as dem miss plenty players like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard. Arteta lose dem to serious injuries wey knack dem for body, and dis season, e look like history dey repeat itself again. How dem go survive if dem no get players wey fit step up?

Dis summer, Arsenal don shake hand for transfer window well well, bringing in Eberechi Eze and others to make di team strong as dem dey aim to end 21 years of title hunger. But, e be like say injuries wan spoil di party for dem. Noni Madueke, wey suppose help Saka, don join di injury list after e start well for di Gunners. (Na wah o, wetin dem go do without am?)

As it stand, arteta dey pray say Madueke no go waste too much time for sideline. E dey expected to miss around two months, which fit mean sapa for Arsenal for plenty games. Dem need am sharp for big clashes against teams like Fulham, West Ham, and di north London derby against Tottenham on November 23.

Na only God fit save Arsenal from dis injury saga. Madueke dey jost for return, but until den, di pressure dey plenty for Arteta to make sure dem no fall hand. Gunners fans fit need to brace up for more twists and turns in di season. Arise Gunners!
