Wolves vs Arsenal injury news as 8 ruled out and 3 doubts

Arsenal return to action on Saturday when they take on strugglers Wolves in the Premier League. The Gunners took care of business in the Champions League on Wednesday night, defeating Dinamo Zagreb convincingly at home.

Attention now turns back to the Premier League and attempting to make up ground on leaders Liverpool. A desperate Wolves side will offer an interesting test this weekend, and here we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams

Yerson Mosquera - Out

Mosquera is out for the season with a serious knee injury.

Enso Medina - Out

It’s the same story for Medina, who is only now beginning to strengthen his knee after a serious injury.

Sasa Kalajdzic - Out

Kalajdzic is not expected to return from a knee injury until at least March. Vitor Pereira said: “Sasa is working with the medical department.”

Toti Gomes - Doubt

Gomes could return here with Pereira having said last week: “Toti is recovering well. I believe in one week, maybe [he will be ready].”

Boubacar Traore - Doubt

Pereira has confirmed that Traore is back working with the first team, but it is not clear when he will be ready to play.

Mario Lemina - Other

This one is not included in the overall total due to not being injury related. But it’s worth mentioning that it is unclear whether Lemina will be available to Pereira due to being in transfer talks over a possible exit. Pereira has said: “I will talk about Lemina at the end of the month. In that time, I will know if he stays or goes. That will be the right time to talk. Now, I need to speak about the team. I need to focus on myself and the team.”

Gabriel Jesus - Out

Jesus suffered a season-ending knee injury, tearing his ACL.

Bukayo Saka - Out

Arteta said of Saka’s hamstring injury this week: “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.”

William Saliba - Out

Saliba has a hamstring issue, with Arteta confirming: “I hope so, yes [for the City game]. He is evolving well. The last few days, he was feeling much better already, but this game comes a little bit too early for him.”

Ben White - Out

White is not expected to return from his knee layoff until early February.

Takehiro Tomiyasu - Out

It’s the same story for Tomiyasu, who has a knee injury that has spanned the season. Arteta said when last asked: “Tomi has done some stuff on the pitch, but we have to see. It has been a long-term injury, and we have to see how quick he progresses and how he reacts.”

Myles Lewis-Skelly - Doubt

Arteta said this week of the youngster’s fresh setback: “He thought it was OK [vs Villa] - he finished the game and the next day it wasn't bad. And then yesterday, he started the session, and he wasn't feeling good, so we need some more tests. Hopefully, it's nothing big.”
