Many of our Men\u2019s, Women\u2019s and Academy players have been sent out on loan this season to gain experience and further action.<\/p>\n
Jakub Kiwior<\/strong> and Porto were embroiled in a double dose of Portuguese derbies over the past week, first suffering defeat by Sporting in the Taca de Portugal semi-final by a 1-0 scoreline. Jakub was a substitute shortly before half-time in that midweek tie, before playing the full 90 minutes of a dramatic 2-2 league draw at Benfica at the weekend. The Dragaos still lead the Liga Portugal table by four points, with nine games to go.<\/p>\n In France, it was a case of heartache and quickfire revenge for Ethan Nwaneri<\/strong> and Marseille against Toulouse in recent days. Ethan was introduced at half-time of Wednesday\u2019s Coupe de France quarter-final which ended 2-2 and went to a penalty shootout, from which Les Violets came out on top. Then on Sunday, it was an away trip in Ligue 1 against the same opponents, with Ethan on the bench as Marseille secured a pivotal 1-0 win – remaining third in the table.<\/p>\n There was a league double for Hamburg in the Bundesliga in the week, which meant plenty of action for an in-form Fabio Vieira<\/strong>. The midfielder played the full match on Wednesday as his side were slenderly beaten 1-0 by Bayer Leverkusen, whom we visit in the Champions League this week. Fabio then featured for 24 minutes on the road at Wolfsburg, as HSV responded with a 2-1 victory to go 10th in the league.<\/p>\n Elsewhere in Germany, goalkeeper Karl Hein<\/strong> was among the substitutes for Werder Bremen as they secured back-to-back victories in some style, courtesy of Sunday\u2019s 4-1 rout away at Union Berlin. The result takes Werder 13th, with nine games to play and survival the key mission.<\/p>\n Reiss Nelson<\/strong> missed Brentford\u2019s 0-0 midweek stalemate with Bournemouth in the Premier League due to a calf issue, while Charles Sagoe Jr<\/strong> played 76 more minutes in the Swedish Cup group stage for Kalmar as they recovered from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Orgryte on Saturday.<\/p>\n In League Two, Ismeal Cabia<\/strong> was back in from the start for Shrewsbury Town, who sealed another impressive win for their 2026 portfolio. Ismeal\u2019s full 90 contributed to a 3-2 win at Chesterfield, with the Salop now a whopping 13 points clear of relegation threat in 17th.<\/p>\n Louie Copley<\/strong> was not involved for Crawley Town as they recovered to draw 2-2 with Swindon Town on Saturday, helping their survival bid in League Two, while Will Sweet<\/strong> was named on the bench in a 1-0 win for Dagenham & Redbridge against Dorking Wanderers in the National League South.<\/p>\n Due to internationals, none of our Women\u2019s loanees represented their clubs over the course of the week. However, Rosa Kafaji<\/strong> played 16 minutes for Sweden on Saturday in a goalless draw with Serbia in their World Cup qualifying campaign. Rosa was also in the squad for Tuesday\u2019s 1-0 win over Italy, linking up with fellow Gunners Stina Blackstenius and Smilla Holmberg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
