Arsenal's season could go from bad to worse as Mikel Arteta confirmed that he had a forced injury substitution in the Gunners defeat in the hands of Unai Emery's Aston Villa, one that could in turn affect their must-win Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
Mikel Arteta confirmed that the Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was a forced substitution in their defeat at the Emirates stadium over the weekend and this could possibly be an injury concern ahead of the UCL quarter-finals fixture against Bayern Munich.
