Arsenal manager Emery: Training not to blame for injuries

Unai Emery insists his training methods are not too blame for Arsenal's growing injury list.

The Spaniard has instilled a much more intense regime at London Colney in comparison to his predecessor Arsene Wenger.

Shkodran Mustafi joined fellow centre-backs Rob Holding and Konstantinos Mavropanos after injuring himself in Saturday's 1-0 win over Huddersfield. But Emery says that their injuries are not down to his work on the training pitch.

"No. I don't know if this is the reason. Big injuries like with Rob and Welbeck," said Emery.

"Then it is normal. We have played three matches.

"Mustafi is ok. It's only because he is feeling muscular [that he came off], but [it's] not a break."
