Saka, Tomiyasu, Timber - Arsenal injury news and return dates before Chelsea match

Arsenal will have to check up on England superstar Bukayo Saka before their Premier League showdown against Chelsea on Tuesday night. Saka was spotted limping in the latter stages of Arsenal's victory over Wolves after he was fouled on four separate occasions in that 2-0 triumph at Molineux.

Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard grabbed the goals on Saturday night as Arsenal gunned down Wolves to return to the Premier League summit. Manchester City, who are just one point behind with a game in hand, were not in top-flight action this match round owing to FA Cup semi-final duty.

Long-term absentee Jurrien Timber (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knock) missed the Wolves win as Saka limped around in the dying embers. Here, football.london provides its latest round-up from the Arsenal treatment table with predicted return dates for those three players:
