Morning. This is the worst day of the Interlull, when all the international football is done, but there’s no news yet because they’re still trying to figure out how everyone is after their travels. The official site posted a training video, from which I have three takeaways. 1 – I hope Gabriel Jesus finds the […]

The last thing a team chasing the title wants is to lose a key midfielder. A missing key defender can often be covered by his team-mates and collective organisation, playing without a star forward means you might be crying out for the odd moment of magic (or someone else to step up when the chance […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this Interlull episode we catch up with the latest injury news, as Leandro Trossard seemingly picks up a knock while away with Belgium, and we round up the other Arsenal player involvement during the break. We take listener questions from […]

Morning all. A quick Monday blog. As an Irishman the less said about the football yesterday the better, I suppose. I actually had the first half on while I was making dinner, but turned off at 0-0. A wise decision, as it turns out. Meanwhile, there’s talk this morning of a Leandro Trossard injury, which […]

Happy Sunday to you all. I see from looking around in a perfunctory fashion that Kai Havertz did bits for Germany last night as they beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0 (seven). Here’s his goal. Does that make up for the fact I once spent two weeks living in an Ibis hotel in a business park […]

Morning folks. Happy Friday to you. Let’s start with Arsenal players in action for their countries yesterday. Leandro Trossard played 90 minutes for Belgium, Gabriel played a full game for Brazil as they drew 1-1 with Venezuela with Gabriel Martinelli getting a few minutes at the end, and as far as I can see that […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined first by Clive Palmer for an Arsenal Interlull round-up, starting with news of Ben White’s injury/surgery, and how that has clearly been an issue for him for some time. We chat about player performance while carrying injuries, wonder if […]

The first thing that Arsenal tried to do in the transfer market this summer was to buy a centre-forward. The club were heavily linked with Benjamin Sesko and bid for the player but he decided to stay with RB Leipzig. There were no other solid links with strikers for the remainder of the summer but […]

Morning. Well, if this isn’t the season that keeps on giving. As we worry about the players who have gone away to play for their countries during this Interlull, news drops about an injury issue for one of those who has stayed behind. Ben White has undergone surgery on his knee to correct a long-standing […]

Morning all. Let’s start with Interlull stuff, because we are in one right now. It’s the final international break of 2024, and England will have to do without both Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice who withdrew from Lee Carsley’s squad yesterday. Neither player finished the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday, and afterwards, Mikel Arteta […]
