The severity of his injury is currently unclear.
What Mikel Arteta has said: "Gabi was limping as well after the game so let's see how they are."
Injury: Unknown
Expected return date: Lens (A) - October 3
Declan Rice
Declan Rice was taken off at half-time against Tottenham with a back injury. football.london understands that after assessment it has emerged that the England international's injury is a minor one, however the 24-year-old is still in discomfort and was not risked for Wednesday night's Carabao Cup clash with Brentford.
Like Saka, he returned to the XI at Bournemouth and played 81 minutes.
Injury: Back
What Mikel Arteta has said: "He hasn't trained yet. We have another session in an hour or two so we'll get more news about him."
William Saliba
The Arsenal defender played in the North London Derby but was totally absent from the midweek win over Brentford, presumed to be rotation.
Like Rice and Jesus, he started from the off at Bournemouth and played the full 90 minutes to record another clean sheet.
Fabio Vieira
Having fought his way into contention on the left side of the midfield, Fabio Vieira was absent from the side's clash with Brentford in midweek.
The Portuguese did, however, come off the bench in the 76th minute against Bournemouth.
Leandro Trossard
Leandro Trossard was the hero in Arsenal's win over Everton as he replaced the injured Gabriel Martinelli, taking over duties on the left flank. The Belgian limped out of training last Saturday though, with what is understood to be a lower hamstring strain.
The former Brighton & Hove Albion frontman was in the squad at the Vitality Stadium but was an unused substitute.
Injury: Hamstring
Return date: Lens (A) - October 3
What Mikel Arteta has said: "He [Martinelli] hasn't trained, we need him back, we want him back. [For Saka and Trossard], it's the same situation."Gabriel Martinelli
Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli suffered a hamstring injury during the win against Everton. The Brazilian winger was absent from the squad for the North London Derby despite being present at the Emirates Stadium to support his teammates.
There is optimism that Martinelli could be available for the game against Manchester City on October 8. The 22-year-old could be involved against Bournemouth, although Arsenal are keen not to rush him.
What Mikel Arteta has said: "He [Martinelli] hasn't trained, we need him back, we want him back. [For Saka and Trossard], it's the same situation."
Expected return date: Manchester City (H) - October 8
Thomas Partey
The Ghana FA confirmed earlier this month that Partey had sustained a groin problem during a training session, a major blow to Arteta. It remains to be seen how long the 30-year-old will be on the sidelines for.
The Ghanaian has been missing due to a groin strain picked up just prior to the international break, but is recovering well and pushing to be back in time for the heavyweight clash with Manchester City on October 8th.
Injury: Groin
Expected return date: Manchester City (H) - October 8
What the Ghana FA have said: "He sustained a groin injury during training on Thursday, August 31, 2023. He is currently unavailable as Club Doctors predict he's likely to be out for a couple of weeks."
What Mikel Arteta has said: "Thomas (Partey) for sure is out (against Spurs). And the rest hopefully available, we still have two training sessions but there were no big issues in mid-week."
He was in attendance for the game against Man United. football.london spoke to Timber post-match where the 22-year-old was still using the aid of two crutches to move about.
Asked how he was feeling with his recovery, a swift, "good, good" was the response. He will be sorely missed, especially with the club failing to find a suitable replacement in the summer transfer window.
Injury: Knee
Expected return date: 2024
What Arteta has said: "Huge blow. Especially for him after just joining the club. To have the injury he has is a huge blow. 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."
