Arteta is extremely concerned about this virtue he detected at Liverpool

A few hours before kick-off at Emirates Stadium between the Red's and Gunner's, injury problems and muscle overloads are beginning to take their toll on both teams, with Arsenal leading the way in the 22/23 season, with Mikel Arteta struggling to put together his starting line-up after star man Oleksandr Zinchenko missed the club's last practice.

The Londoners' latest summer signing left champions Manchester City and reported for pre-season training in the United States after his transfer for 35 million fixed plus two million in variable payments, part of the club's all-time record transfer fee of just over 132.5 million in the current campaign for the English club, which is currently the club's all-time leading club.

Zinchenko had been playing inconsistently for Arsenal, having not fully recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of Ukraine's recent internationals in the UEFA Nations League B, where the Ukrainians dramatically won promotion to Serie A for the upcoming 24/25 edition of the competition.

This loss of the multifunctional former Shakhtar Donetsk player has changed the last-minute plans of the Spanish coach, who envisaged a change to Zinchenko on the left flank or in the middle of the pitch, which he could hand over to Liverpool FC, who travelled to London with the sole aim of taking the three points to continue climbing the table and get into the early battle for European places.

Arteta's problems

The Reds will take advantage of the important loss, in addition to the official ones from the English capital club, where the names of midfielders Emile Smith Rowe and Egyptian Mohamed Elneny stand out. The duel is expected to be intense at all times, with a lot of respect for the opponent, as Arteta said in midweek.
