Zinchenko, Tomiyasu, Partey, Vieira - Arsenal injury news and return dates after Fulham clash
It's a new year and one that Arsenal will be hoping brings new fortunes and potentially new silverware to their trophy cabinet in the months to come. The side currently sit fourth, having suffered a run that includes just one win in their previous five Premier League matches.
The latest defeat in that current run came on Sunday in a clash against Fulham, where Bukayo Saka's early goal was pegged back by Raul Jimenez and Bobby De Cordova-Reid. In a slight boost though, there was one huge injury return, but one other absence in the squad.

Tomiyasu suffered a calf injury in the second half of Arsenal's clash against Wolves and was expected to be out of action until the new year. Arsenal were hopeful of Tomiyasu returning for the FA Cup clash against Liverpool before heading to the Asia Cup with Japan. But he was pictured in training ahead of the trip to Fulham and made a surprise return to the squad for the clash, coming from the bench at half-time.
