See below for the latest injury updates from Arsenal, with key stars looking doubtful to play in this weekend’s Premier League fixture on the South coast against Bournemouth.
Arsenal Injury Latest
Bukayo Saka
Arsenal fans were given a huge scare during England’s loss to Greece in the Nations League last week, as Bukayo Saka limped off the pitch with an apparent hamstring injury.
Saka has seven assists in seven Premier League games this year in what has been another impressive start to the Englishman’s campaign, but this hamstring injury could set him back.
“Bukayo would have been close but it would have been unfair to take a risk with him,” said England boss Lee Carsley. “He’s a positive person and I expect him to be fine.”
Saka withdrew from the England squad and didn’t play any part in the Three Lions’ second fixture during the international break which they won against Finland.
Although his injury caused a lot of immediate concern at the time, Arsenal are reportedly confident that their star man will return to the pitch on Saturday against Bournemouth.
Gabriel Martinelli
One Arsenal player who has found his best form again in recent weeks is Gabriel Martinelli, who finally looks back to himself after recovering from an injury last year.
Martinelli picked up two goals and two assists in his last three league games, after not managing any goal contributions for the Gunners since March.
However while on international break with Brazil, Martinelli was spotted with heavy taping around his calf with his country later confirming that the winger was struggling with a calf strain.
