Latest Arsenal injury news as four key players miss Burnley with Thomas Partey update
Mikel Arteta could be set to welcome back up to four players for Arsenal's trip to Burnley. The Spaniard has been working through a set of niggles in recent weeks that has meant a slightly disrupted first team setup, however it hasn't stopped their impressive form since the winter break.
The Gunners have won four straight matches now in the league after claiming victory just once in the previous seven.It has left them on the tail of Liverpool at the top of the league and in a good position to attack the remainder of the season.
With Champions League football back on the agenda as well, there is plenty for Arsenal to play for. However, in the 6-0 win over West Ham last week there were some notable absences. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus, Emile Smith Rowe, and Takehiro Tomiyasu were all ruled out.
Ahead of travelling to Vincent Kompany's relegation-destined side on Saturday,Arteta was hopeful that at least a few of them could be back in time. “Some of them have been progressing better than others,” he said on Friday morning.
“We have a training session again today. Some of them they've done a few beats this week and I am positive that hopefully we will have a few back for tomorrow.”
When asked if any of them had been ruled out of the game for certain, he said, “At the moment no.” It raises the prospect of the side getting a massive timely boost at the perfect point of the season.
