Arsenal dealt fresh injury blow as ANOTHER player set for eight weeks

Arsenal have been affected by injuries throughout the 2025/26 season and it’s showing no sign of letting up

Arsenal are top of the Premier League and Champions League tables after what has been an impressive start to the campaign.

The Gunners were back to their workmanlike best against Club Brugge in midweek, seeing off the Belgians by three goals to nil, despite Mikel Arteta resting key players.

Ebere Eze and Declan Rice did not feature, afforded a full rest, while Bukayo Saka started the game on the bench.

At centre-back a pairing of Piero Hincapié and Christian Norgaard ensured of a clean sheet given the absence of first-choice duo Gabriel and William Saliba, as well as Cristhian Mosquera – all of whom are out injured.

Despite positive news on the pitch, Arsenal have been dealt an additional blow on the injury front.

According to The Athletic, teenage star Max Dowman is out for the next two months with an ankle ligament injury.

It is reported Dowman sustained the injury during a behind-closed-doors friendly against Manchester United but will not require surgery.
