Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has provided a promising injury update on £35million summer signing Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of the Premier League clash against Leeds.
Zinchenko enjoyed a strong start to life at the Emirates Stadium after completing a move from Manchester City, but has been hampered by injuries over the past two months. After starting the first three games of the season, the Ukraine international picked up a knee injury before returning for the Gunners' only defeat of the season so far against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old returned to the squad for the North London Derby victory against Tottenham, but was substituted in the 73rd minute and has yet to feature again since. The Ukrainian defender's absence has led to Arteta trialling Takehiro Tomiyasu at left-back as he rotates the Japanese defender with Kieran Tierney as not to suffer any more injuries in defence.
