Arsenal have a number of players sidelined because of injury ahead of Wednesday night's Carabao Cup fixture away to Brentford. Last time out, the Gunners drew 2-2 against Tottenham Hotspur in what was a feisty first North London Derby of the season.
Ahead of the game against Spurs, the Gunners lost Leandro Trossard to injury whilst Declan Rice had to be withdrawn at half-time because of a fitness concern of his own. Gabriel Martinelli is also out with a hamstring problem whilst Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey are both on the treatment table as well due to long-term injury issues.
With all of that being said, here's a look at the latest Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of tomorrow's game against Brentford
Bukayo Saka was also taken off against Spurs, with the 22-year-old in severe pain after taking a knock on his foot during the dying embers of the game. This is not thought to be anything serious though, and the England winger is recovering.
Injury: Foot knock
Expected return date: Brentford (A) — 27 September

He will be treated over the next few days though
