Arsenal take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday as the Premier League returns to action after a period of time off due to the international break. Arsenal have unfortunately not made it through this fortnight unscathed.
Both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are understood to have suffered problems which sees them as doubts for the clash with the Cherries. Arsenal were comfortable winners in last season’s clash but both Saka and Martin Odegaard started and scored however Martinelli was indeed missing with Gabriel Jesus operating on the left.
Mikel Arteta has several options in reserve to cope with his current absences plus the hope that some of his previously injured squad members will return. That said, David Raya is of course expected to continue in the goalkeeper position after continuing to establish himself as Spain’s starting keeper with Unai Simon unavailable.
