Oleksandr Zinchenko missed Arsenal's win over Fulham through injury, thus making him a doubt for next week's Premier League clashes against Aston Villa and Manchester United.
Although, there were enough positive indicators before and after the 2-1 victory against the Cottagers to suggest the £32m summer signing from Manchester City will soon be available for selection once again, which will serve as a massive boost to Gunners manager Mikel Arteta.
Firstly, an explanation for Zinchenko's absence as per Arsenal's official website was as follows: "The Ukrainian suffered a slight sprain to his left knee in training on Friday and has been left out as a precaution, while [Thomas] Partey suffered a tight right thigh in the same session, and both players are continuing to be assessed."
