Arsenal prepare for the return of premier league action this weekend with a number of key players out due to injury concerns still lengthened as Gabriel Martinelli has suffered a minor injury. The Gunners continue their top flight this weekend in an away match against Bournemouth Saturday evening.
Having an unbeaten start to their latest title charge, they sit at third position of the PL table with 17 points, one point behind Liverpool. It has been another testing international break for Mikel Arteta, who, a month on from losing influential captain Martin Odegaard to an injury sustained in the Nations League,has been handed several more fitness worries concerning key players – not least Bukayo Saka, who limped out of England’s shock home defeat by Greece at Wembley.
The likes of Kai Havertz and Thomas Partey, who have been withdrawn from international duty last week but alongside the nervous wait over Saka there are a number of stars that appear to be on track to return against Bournemouth.
