## Resource

Are Arsenal heading into the new season with a bigger problem than anyone is talking about? 👀 In today's Arsenal transfer news and Arsenal news update, we look at the growing injury concerns coming out of the FIFA World Cup and ask whether Mikel Arteta could be facing a difficult start to the 2026/27 season. Declan Rice was substituted at half-time after another worrying fitness concern, with reports suggesting he's managing both a back issue and a hamstring problem. Bukayo Saka continues to have his minutes managed, William Saliba is also carrying an injury, and with the Community Shield against Manchester City and huge Premier League fixtures against Aston Villa, Chelsea, Brighton and Sunderland on the horizon, could Arsenal's early-season form be affected? I'm not trying to create panic, but I do think this is a conversation Arsenal fans should be having before the new campaign begins. I also discuss: 🔴 Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal and why he would be the perfect midfield signing. 🔴 The latest reports that Bruno will NOT force a move away from Newcastle United. 🔴 Martin Ødegaard's outstanding World Cup and why it could be a huge boost for Arsenal. 🔴 Noni Madueke's difficult display against England and why he could still become an important player for Arteta. Let me know your thoughts in the comments: ❓Should Arsenal be worried about these injuries? ❓Do Arsenal still need to sign Bruno Guimaraes? ❓How many points do you expect Arsenal to have after the opening run of fixtures? 👍 If you enjoy daily Arsenal content, make sure to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications so you never miss the latest Arsenal transfer news, breaking news, match reaction and analysis. #Arsenal #AFC #ArsenalNews #ArsenalTransferNews #DeclanRice #BukayoSaka #WilliamSaliba #BrunoGuim…
