Mohamed Elneny will miss Arsenal's Premier League match with Aston Villa due to a hamstring injury, football.london understands. Despite completing the 2-1 win over Fulham on Saturday and being videoed celebrating with teammates at full-time, a problem has since been detected.
Scans are expected to take place to understand the extent of the problem, although The Athletic claim that the problem is ‘significant’. Thomas Partey is out with what is understood to be a minor thigh issue, although this is not the same problem which has plagued his Arsenal career to date.
The wide area looked to be the main focus for the Gunners as the window came to a close. Pedro Neto looked to be the primary candidate, although the Wolves asking price has made any move difficult.
