Mikel Arteta continues to be impacted by Arsenal injury problems with two concerns becoming clear. Though the Gunners were able to beat Manchester United on Wednesday evening at Emirates Stadium, they were without two key players.
Gabriel Magalhaes, Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino were all doubts heading into the clash, though the latter duo both featured with Partey playing the full 90 minutes.

Thankfully for Arteta, no fresh injury concerns appeared to be suffered but he faces a tense wait on Gabriel and Calafiori with their next game against Fulham arriving in just three days. With all of that being said, **football.london** has taken a look at the latest Arsenal injury news and return dates before the trip to Craven Cottage.
### Gabriel Magalhaes
**Injury:** Unknown
For the first time in over a year, Gabriel Magalhaes did not feature in a Premier League game for Arsenal. It is likely only a minor issue however, with Arteta hopeful he can return imminently.
**What Arteta has said:** "I don't know \[when he will be back\]. We will have to see over the next few days. Gabi was a big risk to play today because he felt something against West Ham. Sunday he's going to be a possibility."
**Possible return date**: Fulham (A) - December 8 - Premier League.
### Riccardo Calafiori
Calafiori was subbed off early into the second half against West Ham and subsequently missed out on featuring against Man United a few days later.
**Injury:** Unknown.
**What Arteta has said:** "With Ricci, let's see how we reacts."
**Possible return date:** Fulham (A) - December 8 - Premier League.
### Mikel Merino
**Injury:** Knee.
Merino was back on the bench for the visit of Manchester United having missed the previous game because of a knee injury. The Spain international played the final 20 minutes on Wednesday evening.
**Possible return date:** Returned.
### Ben White
**Injury:** Knee
After dealing with a number of niggles during the early stages of the season, White underwent a minor procedure during the November international break.
**What Arteta has said:** "Ben is going to be out for months. We had to make a decision in the last few weeks, unfortunately. It got to a point where we had to protect the player, and we decided to do the surgery."
**Possible return date:** Unknown.
### Takehiro Tomiyasu
Tomiyasu has played just seven minutes this season and does not appear close to making a comeback.
**Injury:** Knee.
**What Arteta has said:** "Tomiyasu is going to be out for a bit. He's going away for a few weeks to change his environment because it's been really tough for him. We're going to give him the best opportunity to try and unlock something, but I think we need to be patient."
**Possible return date:** Unknown.
