As an Arsenal supporter from Kenya, the latest happenings regarding our team have been an emotional ride. From an increasing number of injuries to rampant transfer rumors and the upcoming match against PSG, here’s how I view the current situation at Arsenal.
Injury Struggles: The Walking Wounded at Arsenal
Injuries have struck hard, leaving our team with limited options:
Bukayo Saka: Our star winger had surgery for a hamstring issue and is projected to make his return in April 2025.
Gabriel Jesus: Sustained an ACL injury in January 2025, which will keep him out for the rest of the season.
Kai Havertz: He incurred a hamstring injury during a training camp in Dubai; he is expected back in July 2025.
Takehiro Tomiyasu: He had knee surgery in February 2025, with a return anticipated in August 2025.
Gabriel Magalhães: He suffered a hamstring injury in April 2025, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
These injuries have considerably affected our squad depth, particularly in the defensive and attacking areas, making each match a test of our resolve.

Transfer Speculation: Saliba Targeted by Real Madrid
Reports indicate that William Saliba has been in talks with Real Madrid regarding a potential transfer this summer. While Arsenal is eager to extend his contract, Real Madrid views the 24-year-old as a priority addition to strengthen their defense.
Losing Saliba would be a significant setback, given his crucial role in our defense. It’s vital for the club to secure his future at the Emirates.
Champions League Fixture: Arsenal vs. PSG
The forthcoming Champions League semi-final second leg against PSG is a crucial moment. Ousmane Dembélé, who netted the winning goal in the first leg, has recovered from a hamstring injury and is expected to play.
Given our injury-hit squad, this match presents a tough challenge. Nevertheless, the team’s spirit and determination could prove essential in defying the odds.
Cheering for Arsenal from Kenya has always been a journey filled with peaks and valleys. Despite the current hurdles, the spirit remains intact. The resilience the squad has shown in the face of adversity is admirable, and our support as fans is more important now than ever.
Here’s hoping for quick recoveries, successful contract extensions, and a victorious display against PSG. Come on, you Gunners!
