Arsenal's injury situation could be handed another blow after Oleksander Zinchenko missed the Gunners' Dubai Super Cup win over Olympique Lyonnais. The Ukrainian had been training in the Middle East with the rest of the non-World Cup stars but was nowhere to be seen on Thursday evening.
Zinchenko has enjoyed a strong start to life in north London after completing the switch from Manchester City in the summer. However, the 25-year-old has missed half of the Gunners' Premier League games this season with a knee problem and calf injury in October.
The Ukrainian returned to Mikel Arteta's side in the victories over Chelsea and Wolves prior to the World Cup and was on course to feature in Dubai this week during their mid-season, but he missed the victory in Dubai and has placed doubt over his potential availability.
