The international break has been Arsenal's nightmare as several of their players are confirmed to be absent for the North London derby. Some of those names include Merino, Calafiori, and Odegaard and honestly this is not good news for Mikel Arteta's squad. For Calafiori, maybe he was just unlucky because when Italy played against France, he accidentally fell on Dembele's body and it immediately hit his leg so he had to be pulled out. On the other hand, Norway's victory against Austria had to be paid dearly with Odegaard's ankle injury and clearly this is also detrimental to Arsenal considering that this week they will play a tough match.
Arsenal must try hard to win after failing to get three points in the previous match and this time they have to go away to face Spurs. The result will certainly not be beneficial for Arsenal and on the contrary this is an opportunity for Ange's squad to get 3 points. Even a few days later, Arsenal must face another tough match against Atalanta in the Champions League and honestly they will not be completely safe.

Indeed, Norway won this match but they also lost one player who had to be absent for some time in the future, on the other hand Arteta also had problems with the injury suffered by Odegaard because he is one of the important players for Arsenal and Arteta must think of way to be able to fill the position that will be left by Odegaard in several matches.
Overall, there are several Arsenal players who have had injury problems and maybe this will have bad impact on the upcoming matches because Arsenal have to play using some of the second-string players, in several matches I quite worried about the quality of Arsenal game later.
In the three upcoming matches Arsenal will play away, first they will play with Tottenham and after that against Atalanta in the UCL match then against Manchester City, these three teams will be big challenge for Arsenal because they have to face difficult matches with the crisis of players due to injuries.
