Arsenal injury update: William Saliba and Eddie Nketiah return dates and latest news

Arsenal have eight games left as they attempt to win the Premier League for the first time in 19 years.

Mikel Arteta’s side have enjoyed a brilliant season so far but last week’s draw against Liverpool has allowed Manchester City into the race.

Now, the two go head-to-head with a mouth-watering meeting at the Etihad Stadium later this month.

With the title race so tight, here’s a look at the latest news on Arsenal injuries.

William Saliba

The defender has been crucial this season but has not played since injuring his back against Sporting Lisbon in March.

Arteta, however, is hoping to have the Frenchman back in time for the end of the season.

Potential return date: April/May 2023

Eddie Nketiah

While Gabriel Jesus’ return has boosted Arsenal’s attack, the Gunners are also set to welcome back Nketiah.

The striker is set to be included in the squad who travel to West Ham on Sunday.

Potential return: Sunday 16 April 2023

Takehiro Tomiyasu

The Japan international underwent knee surgery last month and will not play again this season.

Potential return date: Summer 2023

Mohamed Elneny

Like Tomiyasu, Elneny will not play again this season due to surgery.
