At 22:00 Beijing time on April 9, the 32nd round of the Premier League, Arsenal will face Brighton at home. In the pre-match press conference, the Arsenal boss talked about the situation of the team, which involved the injury of the main back Thomas.
Arteta said Thomas's right thigh muscle injury will be absent for weeks, and the players may return before the end of the season, because Thomas's previous injury has been injured again, so the situation is very uncertain, and the coaching staff will continue to pay attention to Thomas's situation.
Arsenal's struggle for four this season is really a disaster, the team's main left-back Tierney due to discomfort in the team training, after being diagnosed with a left knee damage, the player has just completed surgery, most likely to miss all the remaining games of the season.
Fifth-placed Arsenal have one game less to play than fourth-placed Tottenham, with both teams scoring 54 points, and the North London duo are also direct competitors for fourth place in the Premier League this season. Arsenal have nine Premier League games left this season, including four hard games away to Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham. Tierney + Thomas' injury absence will cast a shadow over Arsenal's race for four this season.
