Arsenal won the WSL with versatility but this year we’ll be even better | Daniëlle van de Donk


Adaptability was key for our injury-hit side last season. Now we’re fit and ready for a Champions League challenge too

Every time someone gets injured, a bit of your game falls away, and you have to fill the gaps. Last season, with a huge injury list including players such as Jordan Nobbs, Kim Little and Danielle Carter, I think we did amazingly well at Arsenal. Wherever people had to play they did – we picked up the roles quite quickly.

As one of the players who was still fit, I weirdly didn’t feel more pressure. I just really wanted to win the title. We were all desperate for that first title for Arsenal in seven years and everyone was on the same page. That was the focus. We knew that we didn’t have many people and the whole experience brought us closer together.
