Arsenal’s 4-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round was overshadowed by injuries to left-back Riccardo Calafiori, who was replaced before kick-off, and right-back Ben White, who left the match in the second half. Despite the win marking their first progression beyond the fourth round since 2020, manager Mikel Arteta expressed concerns about growing injury issues, including the absence of captain Martin Odegaard and midfielder Kai Havertz. However, William Saliba made a return after illness, playing an hour before being substituted.
