LONDON (Reuters) - The only cloud on the horizon for Arsenal in an otherwise perfect afternoon in north London was a lengthening injury list that will have manager Mikel Arteta touching any wood he can find during the international break.
His side moved eight points clear of Manchester City in the title race with a 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace at a bouncing Emirates Stadium but they had to do it without defenders William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
"The doctor is assessing. We have one assessment and I think they need to have another assessment tomorrow," Arteta told reporters."It's not looking good. Tomi is not one to exaggerate things. He was really concerned straight away and we are too.""We hope Willy is going to be better news. Again we have to wait to tomorrow to get a better picture," Arteta said.
"Everybody has to give a bit more. It's not a secret. If we want to maintain that level we have to give more and Rob is clear example of what we needed today."
