Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino commented on the injury epidemic at the London club.
"Injuries are part of the game, and they cannot be an excuse for results. Injuries have their positives. One of the positives is that you see young players making their debut and getting involved in matches.
When you are a group of winners, you cannot look for excuses. We must think about how to improve the situation. If you start looking for excuses, you demean yourself. You have to deal with these, seek positive moments and become better. Throughout a long season, there are always physical and psychological aspects, but this team is ready to overcome that," Merino is quoted by the Evening Standard.
