Arsenal faces multiple injury setbacks across men's and women's squads

Arsenal faces significant injury setbacks across both its men's and women's squads. In the men's team, Ezri Konsa has withdrawn from the England squad ahead of their match against the Czech Republic. This adds to the defensive concerns for Mikel Arteta's side, which is already managing the long-term absence of William Saliba.

Additionally, midfielder Alex Scott has been ruled out for several weeks due to a thigh injury sustained during England's Nations League match against Croatia. This loss impacts the national team's midfield depth following the earlier absence of Declan Rice.

On the women's side, Arsenal's WSL campaign continues to struggle as the team sits tenth in the standings. The squad has been further impacted by an ankle injury to Swedish international Smilla Holmberg, who sustained the injury during training with the Swedish national team. Holmberg is currently undergoing rehabilitation and will miss upcoming fixtures.
