Injury Gambles and Tactical Flexibility

In this Dubai-lull episode, we chat about the Gunners trip and training camp, and the news that Gabriel Martinelli's hamstring injury will keep him out for at least a month. We examine Mikel Arteta's scant forward options and consider alternatives we might use should we need to change games. We also discuss Takehiro Tomiyasu's absence from the trip, and whether or not there's space for an Academy player to step up, before answering listener questions about William Saliba and his contract/future, the new sporting director (whoever that might be), spending money on forwards during the summer, the shifting dynamics of the football media landscape, the importance of language, and lots more.
