The men's transfer window has concluded with a reported £3.5bn spent, yet several Premier League clubs are facing questions regarding their squad compositions. Arsenal, for instance, will not feature Vinícius Júnior or Gabriel Martinelli in their attack when they host Chelsea on Sunday. Martinelli's departure for Saudi Arabia included social media farewells that reportedly did not mention Mikel Arteta.
Chelsea will be without Enzo Fernández, who has moved to Manchester City. Lamine Camara, a 22-year-old Senegalese player who previously played for Metz, will also not be lining up in Chelsea's midfield, despite fans reportedly yearning for him.
Liverpool fans are expressing concern over a lack of full-back cover, despite the club having the highest net spend in the league. Richard Hughes, who is also reportedly heading to Saudi, may face criticism. Meanwhile, Richarlison, who had hoped to return to Everton, has been removed from Tottenham's Premier League squad and will not play this weekend. His social media post indicated he was under contract and would remain at Spurs' disposal, but the club reportedly attempted to dispose of him.
