Bukayo Saka has been ruled out of Arsenal’s crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City this Sunday as he continues his recovery from injury.
The Gunners may look to Noni Madueke to step in, but Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori are still in contention and have not been officially excluded from the matchday squad.
As for the hosts, City have no new injury worries, with Nico O’Reilly cleared to play despite having been substituted due to a hamstring issue during last Sunday’s victory over Chelsea.
On a different note, Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike faces a long spell on the sidelines as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained during the Reds’ Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
Tottenham will miss captain Cristian Romero for their match against Brighton and indeed for the rest of the season after he suffered a serious knee injury in their loss to Sunderland.
Here’s a roundup of players unavailable, doubtful, or suspended for this weekend’s Premier League fixtures:
