Arsenal vs Man Utd injury news as 7 ruled out and 1 doubt for FA Cup clash

Arsenal return to action on Sunday when they face Manchester United in the FA Cup third round. The draw wasn’t particularly kind to the Gunners, who won’t have much room to rest key players after a busy festive period, at least not if they want to progress to the fourth round.

Mikel Arteta has been dealing with an injury crisis over recent weeks, but things are clearing up for his squad. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams ahead of the FA Cup clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Marcus Rashford - Doubt

Rashford has been out with illness, but it seems there are issues behind the scenes. Amorim said last week: “At the moment, he is ill. I think he's going to be out this week. He's not training, so we will see.”

Mason Mount - Out

Mount is not expected to be back in the near future. Amorim has said: “Several weeks. I don't know the exact date, but it's going to be for long. And that’s it, it's part of football, and you continue.”

Victor Lindelof - Out

Lindelof is expected to be out for at least a few weeks. Amorim has said: “I think he has something we have to assess to say specifically what he has, but it's tough to lose a player.”

Luke Shaw - Out

There is no fresh news on Shaw’s return. The defender said in early December: “Unfortunately, I've had a small setback. I've been through a lot, but this has definitely been my toughest period. I'm absolutely devastated, and it's extremely tough to come to terms with reality at this moment in time.”

Ben White - Out

White will be out after having a procedure on his knee. Arteta said at the time: “Ben is going to be out for months. We had to make a decision in the last few weeks, unfortunately. It got to a point where we had to protect the player, and we decided to do the surgery.”

Bukayo Saka - Out

Saka is out with a hamstring injury, and that will be the case for some time. Arteta has said: “He had a procedure. Everything went well. But unfortunately, he will be out for many, many weeks. I think it will be more than two months. I don't know exactly how much longer.”

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Out

We are still waiting for a fresh update on Tomiyasu as he continues his long recovery from a knee injury. He shouldn’t be too far off, but the defender remains out for now.

Nwaneri is out with a fresh injury, with Arteta confirming: “Unfortunately he’s picked up an injury and is going to be out for a few weeks. It’s a muscular injury.”
