Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka remains an injury doubt ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game between Arsenal and Bournemouth.
The Gunners travel to the Vitality Stadium looking to bounce back from the disappointment of last weekend’s failure to beat Spurs in the north London derby but have question marks hanging over the fitness of a clutch of key players.
As well as concerns over Saka, who hobbled off during the closing stages against Tottenham, Arteta is also sweating over the availability of Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
‘Declan hasn’t trained yet, we have a session in an hour, we’ll get more news about him.
‘Gabi [Martinelli] hasn’t trained, Leo same situation, Saka, same. They are all in the same pool.’
Arteta also revealed the extent of Arsenal’s injury crisis did not end there, with fresh doubts over Fabio Vieira and William Saliba.
‘Willy had a knock, Fabio wasn’t involved,’ confirmed Arteta. ‘We have to assess them today.’
