Given the fact we’ve just endured the international break, we think today’s topic should surround that of injuries.

As we’re all aware, domestic managers often wince when seeing their players go in for tough challenges upon international duty but the good news is that their players got through unscathed this time around.

While Per Mertesacker and Gabriel Paulista got injured in pre-season to add to the long-term absence of Danny Welbeck, it hasn’t really affected Arsenal’s productivity so far.

That seems to all be down to the squad depth at Emirates Stadium right now with Arsene Wenger having eventually answered the fans’ call to sign an additional centre back, central midfielder and centre forward over the summer.

The true test of Arsenal’s squad depth so far this season is the fact that they managed to comfortable dispatch Championship outfit Nottingham Forest 0-4 in the EFL Cup with a second string side.

Giving outings to the likes of third choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez as well as new boy Lucas Perez, everybody seems to be hungry to succeed right now which can only be good for squad morale.

Today, This Is Futbol have devised a list of FIVE Arsenal stars that simply cannot afford to get injured as the Premier League heads into Autumn.
