Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal injury blow for Shakhtar amid Saka and Timber updates

Mikel Arteta has provided a fitness update on Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber and Martin Odegaard ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Saka was absent for Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth with a hamstring issue picked up on international duty. There had been suggestions that the 23-year-old could be available for the trip to the Vitality Stadium, but ultimately the problem was too big to overcome. Now Arteta has suggested that he has a chance to be involved on Tuesday.
