Martinelli, Tomiyasu, Jesus - Latest Arsenal injury news and return dates before Porto clash
Mikel Arteta continues to be plagued by injury concerns in his Arsenal squad as they vie to win both the Premier League and Champions League. The Gunners picked up another victory this past weekend with Kai Havertz netting a late winner against Brentford at Emirates Stadium.
