Granit Xhaka is confident that Arsenal can continue fighting on two fronts.
The Gunners sit top of the Premier League and are also competing in the knockout stages of the Europa League and Xhaka has faith that the team can be successful in both competitions.
Asked if the club can cope with the pressure, Xhaka said: “Absolutely.
“You can see that every team is playing different against us. They are dropping a lot, sometimes they are pressing us as well.
“But this is what happens when you are top of the League – much more pressure than before, for sure. But in general, I think we are doing well. I think there is a good mentality in the team and let’s try to keep that.”
Gabriel Jesus is close to a return for Arsenal after being injured since the World Cup and Xhaka knows that it will provide a timely boost for the squad as the pressure begins to ramp up.
He said: “For sure, because we lost Eddie (Nketiah) as well, it’s much more important to have Gabi back.
“Leandro (Trossard) as well is injured and he can play in this position. Step by step, I hope that Gabi will be 100 per cent fit to help this team because we know that he can help us. With his attitude, with his personality, he is very, very important for us.
“You need a big squad. You need every player to be, first of course, fit. But you can see that European football is totally different than the Premier League.”
