Arsenal Suffers Injury Blow, Jesus and Partey Ruled Out for Weeks; Arteta Calls For Bigger Squads and More Subs in Premier League

Injury woes add urgency to Arteta's calls for player rotation, with potential role shift for Kai Havertz as Arsenal faces fixture challenges.

Arsenal football team has suffered a setback with injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey, sidelining both players for an undefined period. Jesus incurred a hamstring problem during a match against Sevilla, while Partey was injured during training before the Sevilla trip.
Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, has voiced concerns about the increasing physical demands of top-level football. He has suggested the need for Premier League clubs to have larger squads to cope with a potentially busier calendar.
The injuries have led to speculations of a possible role shift for Kai Havertz, who has mostly played in midfield since his transfer from Chelsea. Havertz could be the one to lead the line in the absence of Jesus.
Ongoing injury issues with Partey have sparked questions about his long-term future with Arsenal. Given his history of health problems, a major offer in January could lead Arsenal to consider letting him go.
Arteta has been frank about his efforts to improve his behavior on the sidelines after criticism that his agitation does not reflect well on Arsenal as a club. He's also questioned the rules for manager suspension, which differ from the rules for players.
