Arsenal vs AFC Bournemouth injury and suspension news as 9 ruled out and 1 doubt

Arsenal are now preparing for a Premier League clash with AFC Bournemouth after a frustrating Champions League semi-final first leg defeat to PSG on Tuesday night. The Gunners will already have an eye on Wednesday’s second leg, with nothing to play for in the Premier League, but momentum is important as they prepare to travel to Paris.

Bournemouth have plenty to play for, currently in 10th place and just one point behind Fulham in eighth position, which is a Conference League spot this season. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding Arsenal and Bournemouth.

Enes Unal - Out

Unal will be out until the autumn with a serious knee injury. Iraola said earlier in the season: “He will undergo surgery to repair the ligament in the coming days, and the club's medical and performance staff will support him in every way possible throughout.”

Ryan Christie - Out

Christie was lost in April to a groin issue and for the season. Iraola said: “The situation is worrying because he has been dealing with a groin issue since the beginning of the season. I think it's a moment where his body is telling him that maybe it's time. There is a chance we decide that he should have the surgery now, recover, take his time, and be ready for next season.”

Evanilson - Out (Suspended)

Evanilson was sent off against Manchester United last time out and he will be absent here.

Luis Sinisterra - Doubt

Sinisterra was ruled out of the last game, with Iraola saying: “ini is not going to be available.” We don’t yet know if the winger will be back here.

Jorginho - Out

Arsenal look to have lost Jorginho for at least a couple of weeks. Arteta said last week: “Jorginho as well (is out.) For Jorginho I think unfortunately it will be a few weeks. I hope so [to have him back before the end of the season], but I'm not certain. So we have to see how he evolves in the next few days, I would say a few weeks. So the doctor was quite cautious still about talking about any dates. So let's see. The good news is that he's improving, he's feeling much better. It was quite a scary situation and he's in a good place now.”

Gabriel Jesus - Out

Jesus is out for the season with a ruptured ACL, and he is not likely to return until late in 2025. A statement confirmed at the time: “Further to being substituted during our match with Man United, Gabriel Jesus has received extensive assessments, which have confirmed that he has sustained an injury to the ACL in his left knee.”

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Out

Tomiyasu is out for the season having had further surgery on his knee. A statement confirmed at the time: “Despite an initial procedure, followed by a RTT, Tomi continued to have issues with his knee, resulting in a further corrective surgical procedure. He will now begin his rehab programme, which is expected to be completed towards the end of this year.”

Kai Havertz - Out

Havertz could well be back before the end of the season, but it seems it won’t be for a couple of weeks yet. Arteta said in his last update: “Semi-finals? I think that's too close. But if I have to bet on him earlier than expected, I would say yes. The way he works every day in that gym, pushing everybody, I don't think you can hold him much longer.”

Gabriel Magalhaes - Out

Gabriel is out for the season. A statement confirmed at the time: “Gabi will undergo a surgical repair procedure to his hamstring in the coming days and immediately begin his recovery and rehabilitation programme, with the aim to be ready for the start of next season.”

Riccardo Calafiori - Out

Arteta did not provide a longer term update on Calafiori, but he ruled him out of the first leg of the PSG game by saying: “Riccardo Calafiori is still not fit.”
