Here are the latest Arsenal Injury Update as they could be missing several key players before their clash with the French giants. We have the latest Arsenal Injury Update with potential return dates to get an idea about how Mikel Arteta’s side will be planning to face PSG and Southampton before the international break.
Arsenal Injury Updates:
Ben White Update:
Being one of the key Arsenal players, his absence was noticeable. He seems to have a groin injury according to reports. He may or may not be fit for the PSG match. It all depends on how fast he recovers. Ben White was a substitute in the draw against Manchester City. Since 2022, the defender was named on the bench after such a long time. Mikel Arteta hoped that he would be fit enough to play in the Leicester City match but he was not fit and was completely unavailable in the team. It is highly uncertain if he will play against PSG in the Champions League match.
His Expected Return Date: 1st October, Tuesday VS PSG
Martin Odegaard Update:
During the International break on September while playing for his country, the Norwegian International suffered serious ankle injury and he was then helped out of the pitch. Pictures can be seen where he is arriving in London in crutches. Arteta said that it is going to take a few weeks till Martin returns but is not sure when he will return. It would be a surprise if Odegaard returns before the international break and play against PSG and Southampton. The Norwegian himself wrote in the Programme notes “I thought I would start with the latest on my injury. It was a bad twist to my ankle, and I damaged some ligaments there, but it’s part of football and now I’m just trying to recover as quickly as I can. I’m moving forward, making progress and I’m feeling more positive every day. I’m working hard and my only thought is to get back as soon as possible.”
His Expected Return Date: During the late days of October
Mikel Merino Update:
The Spanish International is still looking for his debut and he is getting closer to it. Mikel Merino suffered a severe shoulder injury during his first training with the team. He was in the sidelines for two months. Before the Gunners won against Leicester, Merino was hoping for his debut but Arteta proclaimed that it is very soon. He said that he is training really hard and looking very good but it is all about how fast his bone heals and gets ready to make contact. According to the Arsenal boss, he is looking very good in training and might return soon.
His Expected Return Date: 5th October VS Southampton
Oleksandr Zinchenko Update:
