Episode Notes
Arsenal haven’t played for nearly a month and yet injuries are still the main concern for the Handbrake Off team.
Ian Stone is joined by Adrian Clarke and Nnamdi Onyeagwara as all of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, William Saliba and Martin Odegaard struggle with injury problems over the World Cup.
Is this sort of thing inevitable with the number of games players are expected to play nowadays? How much of a challenge might it cause Mikel Arteta going into next season?
The team also discuss the fixture schedule for the new campaign and “Up Your Arsenal” is back, with a special message from Brian in Perth, Australia.
Produced by Xavi Bird.
