Will the number of gcses that I do affect universities from accepting me?

I was doing 10 gcse subjects but because Ive been ill ive missed a couple of months. My teachers recommended me to drop some subjects so it will be easier for me to focus on other subjects and get better grades for them. I just want to ask will I still be able to get into GOOD universities with 9 subhects. Do universities care more about what grade you get or do they care about the amount of gcses you do?
