Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is concerned about his squad's growing injury list, and how it will affect their quadruple chances.  

This, after Ricardo Calafiori suffered an injury in the warmup before this morning's FA Cup 4th round win against Wigan.  

Meanwhile, Ben White was substituted in the second half due to a knock.  

However, White has since confirmed that he's fine.  

The Gunners already have several players on the sidelines, including captain Martin Odegaard, as well as Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino.
