Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has revealed that some of his players are in a race to be fit to play against Burnley on Saturday.
Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe are confirmed to miss the game.
However, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus are also doubts.
“We have a few still in contention,” he said. “We need to give them another 24 hours to give them a chance to be involved in the game, but we won’t know anything until tomorrow.”
Saka hurt his ankle during Wednesday’s Champions League win against Sevilla and Arteta confirmed the winger was not able to train with the rest of the group on Thursday.
“Hopefully not,” he said when asked if Saka will have to withdraw from the England squad for the second consecutive international break. “We want our players to play for the club and their national teams.
“‘B’ had to leave the pitch (against Sevilla) because he was in quite a lot of pain. He didn’t train yesterday. Let’s see if he can make it tomorrow.”
