Arsenal will play their 12th game in 39 days after restart‘We had to expose our players and we had some bad injuries’Mikel Arteta says he is concerned about the physical condition of Arsenal’s squad, with a number of high-profile injuries having been sustained in a congested summer.
Arsenal will contest their 12th game in 39 days when they conclude their
Premier League campaign against Watford on Sunday and will do so without a number of players. They include Shkodran Mustafi, who hurt a hamstring in the FA Cup semi-final win against
Manchester City and will miss next Saturday’s final, and Arteta believes the schedule has played a significant part in the absentee list.
