Arsenal are facing a number of injury concerns ahead of their return to Premier League action following the international break. The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the table to eight points over reigning champions Manchester City after beating Crystal Palace 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta may not be able to call upon a few key players for the clash against Leeds United on Saturday, April 1 following the international break. Takehiro Tomiyasu will not be available for the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery following an injury he sustained during the Europa League clash against Sporting CP, which saw Arsenal exit the competition after a dramatic two-legged tie.
William Saliba suffered an injury in the same game and missed the win against Palace before being withdrawn from Didier Deschamps' France squad for the international break. Eddie Nketiah is continuing to recover from an ankle injury, whilst Bukayo Saka was targeted with a series of fouls in England's win against Italy on Thursday as calls to protect the Hale End star continue.
