Looking for the latest Arsenal injury news before the Liverpool game? Here’s what’s happening with our squad right now.
Who’s Out for the Liverpool Game?
Let’s get straight to it. The Arsenal medical room’s been busy this week. And yeah, some big names are on that list.
Saka’s Fitness Race
- Hasn’t trained since that England game
- Missing from both Bournemouth and Shakhtar matches
- Arteta “not very hopeful” about Sunday
Want the brutal truth? It’s not looking good for our star man. Saka’s been watching from the stands, and with 3 goals and 7 assists this season, we’ll feel his absence.
Odegaard’s Ankle Problem
- Still working through recovery
- Using anti gravity treadmill for rehab
- Written in the Shakhtar programme about “ups and downs” in recovery
Our captain’s been straight with us about his ankle. Some days good, some days not so much. But he’s pushing hard in the gym.
New Defensive Headaches
Calafiori’s Fresh Knock
Got a knee problem against Shakhtar. Had to come off. Arteta called it “a bit of a worry” – never what you want to hear from the boss.
Saliba Suspension
- Out after that red card at Bournemouth
- Big miss for the Liverpool game
- Forces a backline reshuffle
Who Could Make It Back?
Ben White
Good news here. That half time sub against Shakhtar? Just Arteta being careful after a yellow card. He’s good to go.
Jurrien Timber
- Getting closer to full fitness
- Missed PSG game start of October
- Might make the squad for Sunday
Tomiyasu Update
Still dealing with that knee issue. No clear return date, but Arteta needs him back. Been putting in serious hours in rehab.
What This Means for Sunday
We’re looking at some forced changes. The defence needs sorting with Saliba out. But here’s what we know:
- White’s available
- Timber might make the bench
- Attack needs rethinking without Saka
- Midfield creativity takes a hit missing Odegaard
