Saka, Jesus, Zinchenko - Latest Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of West Ham clash

Mikel Arteta could be without yet another defensive option through injury for the Premier League clash against West Ham. The Gunners have been plagued by injury problems, particularly in defence with Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber, who began the season as full-backs, missing several months.

Replacements for the duo have included Ben White, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, although all three have also dealt with their own fitness concerns. In the win over Liverpool, both Zinchenko and Bukayo Saka were withdrawn because of injuries although the latter is expected to be back fit for the clash at London Stadium.

The same for Zinchenko cannot be said, with it also possible that his former Manchester City team-mate Gabriel Jesus also misses the game with a knee issue which resulted in him being absent from last weekend's triumph over Liverpool.
