Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is faced with a number of fresh injury concerns for the visit of Leeds United to the Emirates Stadium for Saturday's Premier League battle.

Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu have both undergone season-ending surgery, while Eddie Nketiah is not expected back from his ankle problem just yet either.

Furthermore, no timeframe has been given on William Saliba's recovery from a back injury, while Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey were both casualties of the international period.

With Saliba absent, Rob Holding stepped in and put in a respectable showing against Crystal Palace, so the Englishman and Gabriel Magalhaes ought to protect Aaron Ramsdale again.

Tierney was never likely to displace Oleksandr Zinchenko even if he was fit, while Ben White continues unopposed at right-back in the absence of Tomiyasu.

Partey's injury has been described as a minor one, so the Ghana international should be fine to partner up with Granit Xhaka, as Martin Odegaard captains the side from the number 10 role.

Fresh from scoring another sublime goal for England, Bukayo Saka occupies the right flank with Gabriel Martinelli on the left, and Gabriel Jesus should now be considered for his first Premier League start since November as Leandro Trossard - perhaps undeservedly - drops out.
