Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on several key players ahead of the team's upcoming Premier League fixture. Winger Bukayo Saka is a major doubt after being forced off with a muscular issue in the recent match against Manchester City. Forward Gabriel Martinelli is also being assessed for a foot injury sustained in the same game.
Midfielder Declan Rice, who missed the international break due to a minor concern, has returned to training and is expected to be available for selection. Defender JurriΓ«n Timber continues his rehabilitation from a long-term knee injury and is not yet ready for first-team action.
The absence of Saka and Martinelli would be a significant blow to Arsenal's attacking options as they enter the final stages of the season. The club's medical staff will continue to monitor their progress in the coming days.
