Potential return date: September 2024
Martin Odegaard
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was another to have caused Arteta concern after coming off during the draw with Brighton.
The midfielder, however, allayed fears while away on international duty with Norway in a major boost for the Gunners.

Mikel Merino
Another new signing Mikel Merino looks as if he will be facing an extended wait for his debut.
The midfielder fractured his shoulder during his first training session with Arsenal and reports have suggested Merino is facing up to two months out of action.
Potential return date: Unknown
Jesus mustered just five minutes on the opening day of the season against Wolves and has been missing in Arsenal’s two matches since.
The forward has a groin injury, although there is optimism he may have recovered during the international break.
Speaking ahead of the Brighton match, Arteta said Jesus was expected to be available “pretty soon”.
Potential return date: September 15, vs Tottenham

Takehiro Tomiyasu
A knee injury continues to keep Tomiyasu on the sidelines, with the versatile defender yet to feature this season.
The Japanese star has not yet returned to first-team training and Arteta’s recent comments suggest a return is not imminent.
"At the moment, it’s difficult to say," he said.
"It’s a bit slow the process of the first phase of that injury. It’s probably for the medical team to say more on that."
Potential return date: Unknown
Kieran Tierney
Tierney initially appeared likely to leave Arsenal this summer, but he suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Scotland at Euro 2024.
That made a summer exit difficult and it means the left-back is still at the club, though it remains to be seen how close Tierney is to returning to fitness.
Arteta said last month: "He needs to focus on recovering in the best possible way, it’s been a tough time for him again with the last injury. We have to try to support him and make sure he gets back fit."
