Rooney: A fully healthy squad may not be a good thing for Arsenal

Hupu November 12 News Although the unbeaten record in all competitions was extended to 14 games, the draw at Sunderland slowed the Gunners' progress. Arsenal's recent outstanding performances have been achieved despite injuries to a number of key players, especially up front.

Dzekereis, Martinelli, Madueke, Havertz, Odegaard and Jesus are currently out due to injuries. But Arteta hinted that several of the currently injured attackers may return after the international break. Rooney believes, however, that a fully fit Arsenal squad could actually cause Arteta some problems as the season progresses.

"That could cause problems, similar to what happened to Liverpool when they signed too many players and you would have players who would normally play on the bench and that would cause problems in the dressing room," Rooney said during Sky Betting's The Overlap fan debate. "I think a full squad is not always a good thing, and sometimes it may actually be easier for the manager to have players out. "

Rooney also insisted that it may be too early to talk about Arsenal winning the championship, and said that as the season progresses, the pressure will only increase further.

"The Premier League season has only just started, and there is still a long way to go. When you get into January and the league landscape starts to take shape and you have a rough idea of ​​where the team will end up, that's when Arsenal may get a little nervous. "
