Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said is worried about losing more of his squad to injury with Thursday’s Europa League game against Bodo/Glimt being played on an artificial pitch.

Bukayo Saka’s goal in the 24th minute gave Arsenal the win at Aspmyra Stadion in Norway but Arteta said the players would be closely monitored over the next couple of days to see if there was any impact from playing on the surface.

“We had 16 players available, so I have to play 11 and I don’t want those 11 to play 90 minutes here because I know probably what is going to happen in the next day or two,” Arteta told reporters.

“If they get injured here for sure, we will be talking that we should not risk a player or risk a player at the end. They have to play.”

Arteta also praised his side for ending Bodo/Glimt’s run of 14 straight wins at home in European competition.
