Arsenal FC manager Mikel Arteta has shared the latest update on his squad’s injury situation ahead of their Premier League fixture against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday.
Arsenal head into the match looking to strengthen their position at the top of the table, with a win potentially extending their lead over Manchester City to 12 points at the Emirates Stadium.
However, concerns remain over the fitness of several key players. Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori, and Jurrien Timber were all absent from Thursday’s training session, raising doubts about their availability.
When questioned about the situation, Arteta offered a brief response, suggesting there had been some developments but without confirming specific details.
“Yeah there have been changes there since yesterday.
“I don’t know. Some of them.”
He did, however, provide a clearer update on Eberechi Eze, indicating that the player is fit and available for selection after recovering from a minor issue.
“He is available. My first conversation with him after felt that niggle he wanted to be available the next week. That was not possible.
“The recovery, the way he has shown to get back, the way he has pushed.”
