Since the start of the 2024-2025 season, Arsenal have recorded a total of 100 different injuries.
Ben White's forced to leave the field in the first half of the match against Wolves makes Arsenal the first club in the Premier League to face a serious physical crisis in two consecutive seasons. Mikel Arteta's side are currently top of the injury rankings - a clear statistic that doesn't bring much positive.
According to statistics, Brighton is second with 97 injuries, while Tottenham - Arsenal's North London opponent - is third with 90 injuries.
Who was the most seriously injured?
Arsenal defender Ben White's comments about the serious injury situation in Arteta's squad are completely well-founded. It is this right-back who is the most vulnerable player in the "Gunners" squad.
The Wolves injury was the ninth time Ben White has been out since the start of last season - more than any other Arsenal player in the same period. In total, these nine injuries have kept him out for 166 days.
Second on the list are Riccardo Calafiori and Declan Rice, each with eight injuries. While Calafiori has been out for up to 120 days, much of Rice's injury is minor, leaving him out for a total of 33 days.
Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka both have seven injuries. Meanwhile, Gabriel Magalhaes, who is currently struggling with a knee, is behind with six injuries.
Which injuries have affected Arsenal the most?
Knee injuries are causing particularly serious damage to Arsenal, forcing their players to miss a total of 668 days off. Notably, this figure has continued to increase since August 2024.
In addition, hamstring injuries have also cost Arsenal 458 days of play, while the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury - which is classified separately, not combined with knee injuries - has cost the team another 216 days due to injury.
Which Arsenal players are missing and when will they return?
Ben White was forced off injured in the win over Wolves and was taken for photos. The defender did not appear in the most recent training session, and according to sources, he may be out for about a month.
Gabriel Magalhaes has not played since November, after suffering a knee injury in the training session with the Brazilian national team. According to reports, the centre-back is aiming to return by the end of this year, with the aim of making an appearance against Aston Villa.
Cristhian Mosquera was forced off injured in Arsenal's win over Brentford earlier this month. Mikel Arteta described the injury as " quite complicated," and sources said the defender would be out until at least mid-January.
Kai Havertz has a knee problem in the win over Manchester United in the opening round of the season in August. Arsenal initially assessed this as a short-term injury, but the German striker has encountered many obstacles in his recovery process and "could not reach his best state", according to Arteta. Havertz did not appear in the most recent training session, but sources said he could return to play at the end of this year.
