Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta has been contending with a growing injury list, revealing six players have been unable to train this week due to various injury issues.<\/p>\n
Gabriel Martinelli has missed the last three games with Declan Rice going off injured at half-time during Sunday\u2019s 2-2 draw with Tottenham. Bukayo Saka also suffered a knock in the north London derby, a game which Leandro Trossard also missed through injury.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Arteta revealed Saliba and Fabio Vieira were also dealing with knocks.<\/p>\n
Having not been pictured in a latest training gallery shared by Arsenal on Friday afternoon, it appeared the chances of some of those individuals being involved on Saturday were slim.<\/p>\n
But video footage of the Gunners squad arriving at their team hotel in Bournemouth shows Saka, Saliba and Rice among the group ahead of tomorrow\u2019s 3pm kick-off.<\/p>\n
Footage shared by @FPLTommyGun shows Saliba stopping to sign a few autographs followed by Rice. Another clip shows Saka signing shirts for young fans.<\/p>\n
