Arsenal have played a significant number of matches this season, and one player who has remained a constant presence in their squad throughout the campaign is Viktor Gyokeres.
The Swede has been in excellent form and has established himself as ****** nal’s first-choice striker since moving to the Emirates in the summer of 2025.
His transfer from Sporting Club took a considerable amount of time to complete, meaning the striker missed a large part of pre-season preparations. Despite that setback, he still featured in several matches during the campaign and played in the Champions League final.
The demanding schedule has naturally raised questions regarding his fitness ahead of the World Cup. There had been suggestions that he would sit out Sweden’s friendly fixtures and only return to action once the tournament begins.
However, that has not been the case. Gyokeres started Sweden’s latest match against Greece and has now dismissed concerns that he was not prepared for the warm-up fixtures after such an intense season.
