Aubameyang and Robertson's injuries were quickly picked up by the media.
Arsenal didn't mean to hide, after all, after the start of the league, the absence of the two main players from the roster will eventually be exposed.
Mourinho briefly explained the injury in an interview with the media, and wished Aubameyang and Robertson a quick recovery.
But misfortunes never come singly.
Although Arsenal has taken a series of measures, it is still unable to stop the wave of injuries.
Following Aubameyang and Robertson, Kanter also suffered a soleus injury.
Goalkeeper Martinez also has a sprained wrist and needs to rest for a while.
In just one week, losing four main players one after another, Arsenal can be said to be going through a very difficult time.
The good news is that Lucky and Giroud, two of Arsenal's best players, have not suffered injuries.
But even so, Mourinho has to be careful.
They can no longer lose any of the main players.
But at this juncture, Arsenal will play away against Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the league.
At the moment when Arsenal was in a wave of injuries, Tottenham struck.
This is obviously a very bad time node.
But even so, Arsenal have to bite the bullet.
For Tottenham, Arsenal's injury wave is a good thing, and their winning percentage will be greatly increased.
Especially for Tottenham fans, they want to take this opportunity to give the hated Arsenal and the traitor Eriksen a serious look.
Time passed slowly, and soon came the fourth round of the 2019/2020 Premier League season.
Tottenham will face Arsenal at home.
In this game, there have been some changes in the lineups of both sides.
Tottenham (4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: Lloris.
Defenders: Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Sanchez.
Midfielder: Ali.Winks, Son Xingmin, Sissoko, Lamela.
Forward: Harry Kane.
Arsenal (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Buffon.
Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Monreal.
Midfielders: Eriksson, Lucky, Xhaka.
Forwards: Saka, Giroud, Mane.
"Arsenal lost Aubameyang, Robertson, Kanter and goalkeeper Martinez in this game. Four consecutive main players suffered injuries. This caused some changes in Arsenal's situation. Can they resist this change? The pressure induced is also a key point!"
After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard on the side added: "Last season, Arsenal fought on three fronts. The Champions League, League and FA Cup have exhausted their physical energy. The overall state has been devastated once, and this season, Arsenal is still choosing to fight on multiple fronts, and this accumulation of fatigue has also brought injuries."
"In other words, it is inevitable. Now it depends on how Arsenal use the current lineup to resist the changes caused by this injury."
The Arsenal players looked a little more dignified.
On the one hand, it is the problem of teammates being injured, and on the other hand, it is the derby. Tottenham will definitely not make it easy for them.
Among them, Eriksson's heart is also a little weird.
Until last season, these players around him were his teammates, but this season, he has switched to his sworn enemy.
There were bursts of insulting voices from the scene, and Eriksson was already mentally prepared for this.
He never expected that after joining Arsenal, he would not be scolded by Tottenham fans.
It is normal to be scolded, but what he wants most now is to win and tell everyone that his choice is not wrong.
"Giroud shoots!!!!"
Andy Gray exclaimed loudly, and immediately said excitedly:
"After the start of the game, Arsenal's offense continued. They seemed to have not been disturbed by injuries at all. Both Saka and Xhaka were perfectly integrated into the team, especially under the excellent state of Giroud. The offensive is still extremely threatening!"
Richard added; "It's not just these, Eriksson and Kay's excellent performances in Arsenal's midfield still firmly occupy the initiative."
In this game, not only Giroud, but Eriksson's performance was also extremely good.
Perhaps because of the eagerness to prove himself, Eriksson played very hard.
And this situation has gradually led to Arsenal's offense under the series connection of Eriksson, like waves beating waves like Tottenham's defense.
Tottenham's defensive pressure is constantly increasing.
This also shocked the Tottenham fans on the field, and they couldn't help but question it.
How did Eriksson play so well?
Even as people who hate Eriksson, they can feel the overall attack of Arsenal driven by Eriksson.
They really want to put the credit on Lucky, but so far, Lucky is in the middle and back, mainly responsible for defense, while the offense in the frontcourt is connected by Eriksson.
Under such circumstances, Tottenham fans not only began to have some ideas.
Is it really Tottenham who are limiting Eriksson's performance?
Even the Tottenham players think so.
Watching Eriksson play like a fish in water in Arsenal's lineup, the previous bad habits and mistakes are no longer appearing, but they continue to create opportunities for Arsenal to attack.
The beneficial distribution of the ball and the series have greatly increased the offensive ability of the striker.
With the support of sufficient shells, Giroud's overall state once again ushered in a stage of big explosion.
This also makes it difficult for Spurs to deal with.
"Stop that Frenchman, be sure to limit him!"
Lori yelled loudly.
From the beginning of the game, Giroud's threat to Tottenham's goal has not stopped.
Therefore, under the shot, Lori felt a huge sense of oppression.
If Giroud cannot be restricted, then breaking the goal is only a matter of time.
But then again, it is so easy to restrict Giroud!
At this time, Arsenal's offense came again.
Saka got the ball on the wing. As a young player, Saka is very aggressive. Although he does not have the sharp attack of Aubameyang, he is reckless enough.
When Sanchez faced Saka, he was often in a hurry.
This is based on Saka's flexible feet and the incomparable embarrassment he made under his movements.
The rise of young players will inevitably have some foil.
Sanchez didn't want to be that foil, so he started some physical oppression against Saka, trying to make the young man quit.
But Saka is clearly a hard-headed guy.
There is no intention of retreating at all, but instead he keeps moving the ball left and right with his feet, looking for an opportunity to break through.
Even if Sanchez went up to hit him, Saka was ready to make a breakthrough at any time.
Just when Sanchez was about to squeeze Saka to the wing again, he saw Saka dial the ball to the left and stand sideways.
Sanchez thought that Saka was going to pass the ball, and he was overjoyed.
But in the next second, after pulling the ball, Saka quickly passed the ball and squeezed towards the sideline abruptly.
"Saka completed the breakthrough!!"
The commentator also cheered loudly.
After Saka completed the breakthrough, he just looked up, and immediately rubbed the instep of his right foot into an arc.
The ball bypassed Vertonghen, who retreated with a sliding tackle, and fell into the middle.
In this position, Giroud just made a shovel shot and stabbed the ball into the goal.
28 minutes.
Arsenal scored the first goal in successive attacks.
With this goal, Arsenal's advantage can be guaranteed.
"Giroud scored!!! Arsenal scored first!!!"
"God! They don't seem to be disturbed by injuries at all. Even though the four main players are absent, Arsenal still played an excellent offensive coordination!"
"Whether it is offense or defense, Arsenal has no major problems. This is the ability of Arsenal's bench. Even if the main players are injured, Arsenal can quickly replenish personnel and make up for the lack of combat power!"
In this game, the young player Saka performed extremely well, which also made him gain great attention.
In fact, Saka has been identified by many media as one of Arsenal's future stars.
According to the current situation, Saka's growth seems to be more rapid.
Of course, this is also the result of the help of a strong team.
Tottenham fell behind in conceding a goal at home, which was a big blow to morale.
But at the same time, they have a bigger problem to deal with, and that is a chaotic midfield.
After Eriksson left, Tottenham's midfield became extremely chaotic.
Pochettino hopes that Ali can become a part of the organizational work, but obviously, Ali's performance is not enough to meet the vacancy left by Eriksson.
