Suspensions may ruin Arsenal's pursuit for European success
With Arsenal looking to face Real Madrid in a crucial Champions League match, suspensions looming are causing fears that will cut the chances of the team qualifying in Europe.
Midfielder Thomas Partey is among those who are walking on thin ice concerning a possible suspension after receiving a yellow card already. With UEFA's policy of suspension operating, a second yellow card will see him missing vital matches in the latter stage of the competition.
Several other Arsenal players are on the verge of eliciting suspensions, putting Mikel Arteta in a tricky situation as he is able to balance squad rotation and tactical caution.
