Bukayo Saka - Out
Saka is not expected to return from his hamstring injury until April. Arteta said in his last update: “No, that's not going to change [three months]. It's within the process. He's doing really well; he's feeling better day by day, but we have to respect the healing process... he has a lot of stages to go through in his rehab.”
Ben White - Out
White is not expected to return from his knee injury until February, with Arteta saying: “He hasn't trained with the team yet, but I think he's very close to doing that. He still needs to tick a few boxes in the next two or three days. If that's going well and smoothly, I think he'll be with us pretty soon.”

Tomiyasu is still out with a knee injury, but he is getting closer, likely to return in early February.
