IT'S MATCHDAY:Arsenal Team News vs Leicester City: David Raya, Ben White, Jurrien Timber update,and predicted Line-up

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has followed in the footsteps of his mentor, Pep Guardiola, in that he tells the media as little as possible when it comes to injury information. However, the Spaniard did admit that he has three fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit from Leicester City on Saturday: David Raya (thigh muscle), Ben White (knee) and Jurrien Timber (unknown). All three are in the doubt status for this weekend.

David Raya has been sidelined with a “muscular injury” and the club “don’t know” the extent of the issue. Those four words are all that Arteta had to say about him.

Team News for Both Sides

There were reports, earlier in the week, that David Raya was expected to be okay for this match. Regarding Ben White, the Gunners boss said: “We didn’t want to [play him] but we had to at some point. I spoke to him yesterday that I wanted to protect him. He won’t ever tell you that he’s not fit. He will run through a brick wall for you.”

Elsewhere Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney all remain out as long-term injury absentees.
