Injury Updates for Arsenal Ahead of Brentford Clash
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is hopeful that young stars Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will be available to play in the upcoming match against Brentford this weekend. Saka was substituted during the recent victory over Sheffield United due to illness, while Martinelli suffered a foot injury that has left his return date uncertain.
On the injury front, Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey have both recovered and are set to return to action. However, defenders Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still sidelined as they continue to recover from calf injuries. Arteta is optimistic that they could make a comeback in the game against Brentford.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper David Raya is ineligible to play against Brentford as he is still registered as a Brentford player. The Gunners will have to rely on backup goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for this crucial fixture.
Another player on the road to recovery is Jurrien Timber, who is rehabilitating from an ACL injury. Arteta has provided an update on Timber’s progress, stating that he is on track for a return after the March international break. The exact return date for Timber remains uncertain, but Arteta is pleased with the youngster’s recovery so far.
