Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Arsenal may sit top of the Premier League for now, but they are doing so with a number of first-team regulars absent through injury, and a whole host of squad players also missing.

As it stands, the Gunners are missing eight squad players, as well as youngster Gedion Zelalem who was ruled out for 6-8 weeks just days before potentially making his debut.

And with questions over Olivier Giroud’s fitness ahead of the trip to Marseille to open up their Champions League campaign, we take a look at the club’s rather lengthy injury list and when they could make their return.
