On September 25, 3:00, away against Port Vier in the British League Cup. Before the game, Arteta attended the press conference. It talked about the team's injury issues. Tasman said that Maduaike will be injured for several weeks and Havertz will...
Maduaike Injury Update
Arteta: "He is expected to be out for several weeks. We seem to need to schedule a scan for him again next week. He was already feeling uncomfortable at the beginning of the game, and the pain increased at halftime."
Is the injury time calculated in weeks rather than months?
Arteta: "We hope so. We have to rescan it to confirm, but the situation does not seem serious at the moment. He is very frustrated and disappointed because he was in good condition. He has just entered a steady pace and is gradually showing a huge threat."
InCapier
Arteta: "He suffered a minor groin injury. The injury needs to be evaluated in the next few days based on recovery. Due to the adjustment of training load and the lack of a complete pre-season preparation phase. We will evaluate his condition next week. I think this is a short-term injury."
Havertz
Arteta: "About Havertz, we know that he will be absent for several months. But given that he is Havertz, maybe it can be calculated in weeks? He is indeed different. I hope he recovers completely and stays healthy for a long time. His recovery is very smooth at the moment."
The cause of the injury wave?
Arteta: "We have conducted a comprehensive investigation. Maduaike's injury was purely bad luck, an accident. Havertz's situation was similar, and so was Ben White. Odegao injured the same shoulder twice in the ground fight. Saka was more of a muscle injury, which may require more in-depth analysis. We are always committed to keeping the injury to a minimum." Will
rotate against Port Vier?
Arteta: "Many players will get the chance to play. They are fully worthy of the game time. Kepa is undoubtedly one of them. He always has a good attitude and abides by his duties. Other players are also worth more playing time."
