Strategic plans
Furthermore, the coach shared his thoughts on the impact of injuries on the club's transfer policy. He noted: "We always have to be ready. The moment we have the opportunity to adjust the squad, to strengthen it... we have to be prepared."
Arteta emphasized that the players' health influences his selection for the team: "We have built a squad that I believe is the best possible... The availability of the squad implies that players must be healthy and available."
Thus, "Arsenal" is preparing for a crucial match against "Aston Villa," hoping for a positive result despite all the challenges.
