With all of the key players that are out injured for Arsenal in their Premier League fixture at Huddersfield Town this weekend it looks like Denis Suarez has a very good chance of starting his first match for Arsenal. The midfielder acquired via loan from FC Barcelona was the Gunners’ only acquisition in what was a very quiet January transfer window.
Suarez helps to fill the need for depth in midfield, but the Gunners still have an injury crisis in the back to contend with. Manager Unai Emery will have to be creative with his selection there.
