Mikel Arteta has been dealt a potentially huge injury blow ahead of Arsenal’s clash against Bournemouth. The Gunners will lock horns with Andoni Iraola’s side at the Vitality Stadium after the international break as the Premier League title race builds a head of steam.
Arsenal head into the clash following a dramatic 3-1 win over Southampton, with Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka finding the net after Cameron Archer fired the Saints ahead. As for the Cherries, they’ll be determined to return to winning ways after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Leicester City.
While Arteta will be eager to leapfrog Liverpool and claim top spot, the Spaniard could be without some big names.
