All the latest injury news surrounding Arsenal and Everton as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.
Arsenal are back in action on Saturday when they face Everton looking to remain in the Premier League title race. The Gunners are now six points behind leaders Liverpool having played a game more, and the margin for error is getting smaller by the week.
Mikel Arteta’s men did pick up a big Champions League win over Monaco during the week, and they will need to follow that up with a win over an Everton side just four points above the drop. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Timothy Iroegbunam - Out
Everton boss Sean Dyche has said: “Tim is a bit of a way behind, and so is Jimmy Garner, but they're in the process of getting back fit.”
James Garner - Out
The same applies to Garner, who has a lower back injury.
Michael Keane - Doubt
Keane could return here after a minor knee ligament injury.
Youssef Ramalho Chermiti - Out
Dyche has said: “Youssef is getting stronger but not there yet.”
Ben White - Out
White is out until the spring after undergoing knee surgery. Arteta 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.”
Gabriel Magalhaes - Doubt
Gabriel was not risked against Monaco but he may well return for this one.
Riccardo Calafiori - Doubt
It’s a similar situation for Calafiori, who will be hoping to return here.
Oleksandr Zinchenko - Doubt
Zinchenko suffered an injury setback before the Fulham game. He remains a doubt here but may be back in contention.
Takehiro Tomiyasu - Out
Tomiyasu remains out with a knee injury. Arteta said of the situation: “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.”
