Oleksandr Zinchenko's participation for Arsenal against Brentford is unclear following a rather cryptic update from Mikel Arteta.
Now, on Friday morning the Gunners' preparations for Sunday's London derby was rocked with the news that the £32m summer signing would miss the game with a calf muscle injury which is also the reason he's not been selected by Ukraine for their Nations League matches against Scotland and Armenia.
"The midfielder of the national team Oleksandr Zinchenko, unfortunately, will not be able to help the blue-yellow during the September matches UEFA Nations League 2022/2023," a statement via their official website reads.
