Arsenal injury update ahead of Everton clash as key star receives treatment on international duty

Arsenal are already just days away from a clash with Everton as the international break enters its final days.

The Gunners have enjoyed a solid start to the season, winning all-but one of their games so far and going into the break on the back of a late home win over Manchester United. Mikel Arteta’s men have aspects they need to improve, like most teams at this stage, but they are still within touching distance of the so far perfect Manchester City, and that will be the aim.

Strugglers Everton await the Gunners this weekend, and ahead of the clash, we have rounded up all the latest Arsenal injury news. Take a look below.

Gabriel Magalhaes

Arsenal fans were left concerned when Gabriel was given sideline treatment after coming off as a late substitute for Brazil. The defender was at the wrong end of a nasty-looking challenge earlier in the game.

The good news is that Gabriel has since been spotted training with his national team teammates, and all looks to be fine.

Thomas Partey

Partey looks as though he will be out injured until some time in October after picking up an injury during training.

“Unfortunately he got an injury in training and it doesn’t look good,” Arteta said before the international break. “We need some more tests, we believe he’s going to be out for weeks. We think it’s a groin but can be something in between.”

Jurrien Timber

Timber was injured on his Arsenal league debut after signing on a big-money deal during the summer.

The defender’s absence will be felt as he embarks upon a long recovery process that will run deep into the new year. With damaged knee ligaments, Timber will likely be out until next season.

Mohamed Elneny

Elneny was given an extra year on his contract after missing the season with a knee injury last term, but he is yet to fully return from that injury.

The versatile midfielder is back in training, but it’s going to take him some time to get back up to full speed, and it’s likely he won’t be seen until October at the earliest.
