Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres Recovers After Head Injury in Champions League Win

Viktor Gyokeres suffered a serious head injury during Arsenal's 2-0 Champions League victory over Athletic Bilbao but was able to continue playing after treatment, wearing a black headband. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that both Gyokeres and Mikel Merino, who also had a head injury, are doing well, with Gyokeres' substitution later in the game being tactical rather than due to injury. Arsenal are in strong form as they prepare to face Manchester City, with key players like Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard pushing for starting spots following their impactful substitute appearances. The team has bolstered its squad over the summer, addressing previous depth issues that hindered their title chances last season. Arsenal's performance in the Champions League and Premier League remains competitive, with Liverpool currently leading the league, but a win over Manchester City could significantly boost Arsenal's position. Gyokeres expressed optimism about his Champions League return, while Arsenal legend Thierry Henry offered constructive criticism on his finishing skills to improve the striker's effectiveness.
