The nine Arsenal injury questions Mikel Arteta must answer ahead of Bournemouth

Arsenal finally return to Premier League action this weekend after a two-week break due to the international break.

The Gunners have not played since the 3-1 victory over Southampton on October 5, with Mikel Arteta’s side travelling to Bournemouth on Saturday. As Manchester City and Liverpool are both in action on Sunday, Arsenal know a win will propel them to the top of the league table.

The north Londoners may go into the clash against the Cherries without a number of first team stars due to injury, however. Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli are perhaps the main concerns ahead of the match at Vitality Stadium.

Saka limped off during England’s Nations League loss to Greece with a suspected muscle injury, Havertz did not join up with his Germany teammates due to a knee issue and Martinelli complained of pain in his calf while away with Brazil. The injury concerns do not stop there, however.
