Mikel Arteta gives double Arsenal injury update

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has given an update on the fitness of Myles Lewis-Skelly and William Saliba ahead of the clash against Wolves.

The duo missed out on the midweek games against Dinamo Zagreb, following separate injury concerns for the defenders.

When asked about their condition before the match, the manager said on Lewis-Skelly: “With Myles there is nothing serious with the scan, so it’ll be a matter of today’s meeting with the medical staff and our training session.

“We’ll see whether it’s too early or not.”

Continuing on Saliba, he added: “With Willy [Saliba], it’s something similar as well. I think he’ll definitely be in for next week, but for this week let’s see how it goes.”

Oleksandr Zinchenko’s Arsenal transfer exit latest

Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko has been rumoured with a possible exit from the club in the January transfer window.

Arsenal Insider understands that Borussia Dortmund have revived interest in the defender, but there is other competition for that space at the club.

Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell is also in the frame to join the German outfit, which would complicate the possibility of a switch.

Mikel Arteta gives Arsenal transfer update

As Arsenal look to enter the transfer market, plenty of speculation has surrounded the future of loanees Raheem Sterling and Neto.

The duo joined the club in the summer from Chelsea and Bournemouth respectively, with just a few appearances between them.

With the January window now here, the pair currently fill the limit for the amount of loans from other Premier League clubs.

It means they could block other possible incoming players for Arsenal, with some speculation over an early termination of their deals.

However, according to Arteta, that won’t be the case as he told the press: “We’re not thinking about that.”
