All the latest Arsenal injury news ahead of Thursday's match against Manchester United.
Arsenal hosts Manchester United on Thursday evening, looking to make it back-to-back Premier League victories.
The Gunners defeated Newcastle United 2-0 on Saturday afternoon, with Mikel Arteta's men bouncing back perfectly from the previous weekend's heavy defeat to Liverpool.
Arteta will be hoping his team can capitalize on United's recent form, despite the Manchester-based club's mini-revival in the last two games, which saw them beat Villarreal and draw with Chelsea.
However, Arteta may be missing some key players for the trip to Old Trafford this week, so football.london has compiled a list of the most recent injury updates.
Saka, Bukayo
Bukayo Saka was very impressive in Arsenal's win over Newcastle, scoring the opening goal, but it wasn't all good news for him.
Saka limped off in the second half with an injury and will now be evaluated ahead of Thursday's match, Arteta confirmed after Saturday's victory.
Arteta stated: "It was an action in which he stated that he felt something. He wasn't feeling well enough to continue, so we'll have to assess him and probably scan him to see if there's any damage."
Date of expected return: To be determined
Xhaka, Granit
There appears to be some good news about fellow midfielder Granit Xhaka's fitness.
Despite continuing his recovery from a knee injury sustained against Tottenham Hotspur, the Swiss was spotted in training ahead of the loss to Liverpool.
Arteta recently confirmed that the deep-lying playmaker is on the mend and may be able to return sooner than expected.
Arteta stated: "Hopefully, he'll arrive sooner than expected; he's training and pushing himself and the rest of the staff as hard as he always does, and he's in good shape. He's progressing nicely, and hopefully we'll be able to have him sooner."
Date of expected return: Sead Kolasinac in the New Year
Bosnian defender Kolasinac has had a string of injuries with Arsenal, which appears to have worsened.
The left-back had to be carried off the field after a heavy challenge in a recent World Cup qualifier against Finland.
The Gunners revealed that he has suffered a'significant' ankle injury and is unlikely to be fit for the foreseeable future, meaning he will miss the last few matches.
