Arsenal may be forced to make tough decisions ahead of the new season, with reports suggesting that two or even three high-profile players could be left out of the club’s matchday squad.
Following Mikel Arteta’s aggressive transfer activity — including the big-money arrivals of Viktor Gyökeres and Eberechi Eze — squad depth has reached a point where some senior names may not even make the bench.
With Premier League regulations limiting matchday selections, the Gunners are now facing the reality of trimming key names, especially with European competition demands and fitness concerns still looming.
Insiders say decisions will be based on form, fitness, and tactical flexibility, but Arteta is now juggling one of the deepest squads in recent club history — and not everyone can feature.
