Arsenal recorded their third consecutive victory on Saturday evening as they beat Leeds United 4-1 at Elland Road.
Goals from Gabriel Martinelli (x2), Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe were enough for the dominant Gunners, who have now extended their advantage in the Premier League table over West Ham United to four points with the victory.
However, it is not all good news for Mikel Arteta, who is now set to be without a few players for their upcoming matches.
So, with all of that being said, football.london rounds up the very latest injury-related and Covid-related updates coming out of Arsenal on Sunday morning.
Takehiro Tomiyasu
The Japan international was forced off the pitch on 64 minutes after struggling with an injury problem.
After the game, Arteta confirmed it was a muscular issue for Tomiyasu and Arsenal will wait to find out the severity of the problem.
What Arteta's said: "It was more of a muscular injury. He has got a big load on him because he has played every single minute since he's joined us and even this week, he has been struggling a little bit.
"We decided to take him off, he was not 100 per cent confident to continue in the game, and hopefully he is not injured."
Expected return date: N/A
Pablo Mari and Sambi Lokonga
Mari and Sambi Lokonga have both tested positive for Covid-19 and will now isolate until they are able to return a negative result.
Expected return date: Unknown
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Aubameyang has missed the last few matches because of a disciplinary breach, with his future at Arsenal uncertain.
What Arteta's said : “No, he’s not available for selection."

What's been said : “Right groin. Bernd sustained a groin issue in training and is being assessed.”
