Arsenal Won’t Panic After Cup Losses

Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta has called for calm after the club’s first consecutive defeats this season, coming from a Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City and an FA Cup exit to Southampton. Arteta stressed the need to refocus and rediscover Arsenal’s identity as they head into the Champions League quarter‑final first leg against Sporting Lisbon, with goalkeeper David Raya set to return. Key players Bukayo Saka and Jurriën Timber are still injured, but the squad will feature Gabriel Magalhães, Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard for the important tie.
