Unai Emery has four injury concerns ahead of the weekend’s clash with Bournemouth, which could leave Arsenal light up front.
With Danny Welbeck already sidelined with an ankle injury, strikers Alexandre Lacazette (groin) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (back) are doubts, though the pair are understood to have participated with gym work at Arsenal’s training base this week.
Elswhere, full-back Nacho Monreal is sidelined for the next two weeks with the Spaniard suffering with a hamstring injury, a problem which is also affecting Stephan Lichtsteiner.
Elsewhere, defender Konstantinos Mavropanos will miss out due to a groin strain, while Laurent Koscielny is yet to return from his respective Achilles injury he sustained back in May.
Earlier in November, Emery offered positive news regarding the Frenchman’s return.
“He feels better in each training,” said Emery of Koscielny.
“He is close to being with us for competitive games. We are happy with him.
“He is with us every day and we are going to think after the international break how we continue working and playing games.”
