“He hasn’t been able to participate in the session,” said Arteta.

When asked whether he could miss the game against Bournemouth, the Spaniard replied: “It’s a possibility yes.”

Leandro Trossard
Trossard's impact in recent games saw him net the crucial goal in the win against Everton, but missed the win against Brentford due to a hamstring issue.

“He won’t be available (against Brentford),” said Arteta.

“He did some activity, that’s where he felt it. He hasn’t trained yet. Not available for tomorrow.”

The Belgian international is in contention to be named in the squad for the game against the Cherries.

Gabriel Martinelli
The Brazil star is suffering from a hamstring injury and will face a fitness test ahead of the Bournemouth game.

Arsenal, however, are keen on not to rush him back too soon.Partey is on the sidelines with a groin problem and is aiming to return for the game against Manchester City on October 8.

Jurrien Timber
The summer signing from Ajax is currently recovering from an ACL injury which is expected to keep him out until 2024.

“To have the injury he has is a huge blow,” said Arteta.

“We recruited him with clear intentions and what he was bringing to the team was evident, but he’s not going to be able to do it this season. We have to adapt. These things happen, unfortunately, and we have to move on.”
