Champions League 2024-25: Arteta battles injury crisis as Arsenal gears up for Monaco clash
The HinduArsenal must adapt to the situation of having a growing injury list, manager Mikel Arteta said, as his side prepares to face AS Monaco in the Champions League at home on Wednesday with several key players set to miss out. We have 24 hours to make a decision and hopefully it will be the right ones.” Kieran Tierney, back in training after six months out with a hamstring injury, could make his first appearance in European competition for Arsenal since November 2022, with Arteta pleased with the left back’s determination. “He’s ready and training really well and he’s going to have an opportunity for sure the way the team is looking at the moment,” the Spanish coach said. When that happens you have to give opportunities to those kinds of players.” Arsenal is seventh in the Champions League standings, ahead on goal difference over its French opponent which began its campaign with a win over Barcelona.
