Oleksandr Zinchenko out of Arsenal vs West Ham amid injury worry

Arsenal fullback Oleksandr Zinchenko will miss today's Premier League clash against West Ham United because of a groin problem, as per The Athletic.

Zinchenko didn't train with the rest of his teammates at the club's London Colney training base yesterday, football.london understands, whilst winger Bukayo Saka hinted the left-back would be out after he benched him in his Fantasy Premier League team - leading to plenty of theories from Arsenal supporters regarding the Ukraine international's fitness. Now, Jordan Campbell of The Athletic has confirmed that the former Manchester City defender has a slight issue but it is not thought to be serious.

Campbell tweeted: "Zinchenko to miss Arsenal’s game vs West Ham this afternoon after picking up groin issue against Liverpool. Not thought to be serious but club choosing to protect him. Arsenal also still without (William) Saliba at the back." The club then confirmed that the left-back was out "as a precaution due to a tight groin".
