Arsenal will travel to Manchester United with a string of injury problems and Mikel Arteta had little optimism for most of the players currently on the sidelines, not least Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Speaking of Aaron Ramsdale (hamstring) and Martin Odegaard (bruises), both of whom are dubious, Mikel Arteta said: “Those two [Ramsdale and Odegaard) are in the evaluation phase, we’ll see more tomorrow. Hopefully they can train with the team. . ” Unfortunately, this is not yet the case with Alex [Zinchenko]. He has missed two matches and has not yet been able to train with the team.
“Thomas Partey (thigh) and Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) will both miss.” With Mo it’s probably a little easier and we’re talking months, ”Arteta said. “Hopefully we’ll be talking to Thomas for weeks or even less than that, I hope. We tried to deal with that (Thomas). A lot has happened since he arrived and we are trying to find the best possible way to find out why, but unfortunately body and mind are two different groups. , so sometimes understandable.”
