Several clubs (like Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton) are carrying multiple knee and muscle-related injuries, threatening their rotation options in both domestic and European fixtures.
Teams may need to adopt more cautious lineups or revert to older but trusted players to plug gaps. For instance, Arsenal’s attack will look very different without Jesus and Havertz, while Manchester City will miss the midfield stability of Kovačić.
