<\/p>\n

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour admits he is concerned about the number of injured players at his former club. The Gunners lost a further two players on Sunday to increase their absentee list to five.<\/p>\n

Arsenal lost summer signing Jurrien Timber early in the season with an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury. Thomas Partey was next to be struck down, suffering a groin problem in training which is likely to keep him out until after the next international break.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Martinelli suffered a hamstring injury during the 1-0 win at Everton, while Leandro Trossard missed Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham with the same problem. Declan Rice then limped off at half-time with a back issue to add to Mikel Arteta’s fitness concerns.<\/p>\n

Parlour spent the majority of his Arsenal career playing under Arsene Wenger. He cannot remember there being as many injuries at the same as the Gunners have got now.<\/p>\n

The pundit reckons a change in pitches as well as players being “more flimsy” is playing a part. Parlour said on talkSPORT: “You look at Arsenal you’ve got Martinelli, Trossard, Partey out, Rice. It’s a bit of a worry and I just don’t understand all these injuries, I really don’t.<\/p>\n

“They’re really looked after now, players, aren’t they? And I’m going back to my career, I don’t remember six, seven players being injured at once. It’s really weird.<\/p>\n

“Whether it’s the pitches, they’re a little bit firmer now, I don’t know. It takes its toll a little bit more, maybe training is more intense now, I don’t know<\/p>\n

“I just never saw in my era as many injuries in a team at that one stage. And early in the season, I know pre-season is very important, you’ve got to have a good pre-season to get you ready for the whole season.<\/p>\n

“But I can’t remember our teams having seven, eight injuries at once. They’re so looked after now, obviously nutrition, they’ve got so many people looking at what they do in training.<\/p>\n

“That’s what I don’t understand. Whether they’re a bit more flimsy players now, I don’t know, because we were a little bit more tougher if I’m being honest.”<\/p>\n

Rice avoided injuries throughout most of his career at West Ham and Arteta is hoping the back problem is not serious. He said: “Hopefully not, but we have to assess him.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s strange that a player like him asks to come off, because he wasn\u2019t uncomfortable. Hopefully not, but we\u2019ll see.”<\/p>\n
