Bukayo Saka - Plays off bench Saka (ankle) played 27 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 1-0 Europa League win over Zurich.

Impact Saka was expected to be available off the bench after making a return to training and was good for play for 27 minutes. This is in line with his normal usage throughout the Europa League group stage, as he has seen 20-to-30 minutes off the bench in four of the five previous matches. Saka should be fully fit and available for Sunday's trip to Chelsea in the Premier League, where he's been a nailed-on starter.

Mohamed Elneny - Plays hour in Europa League Elneny (hamstring) played 62 minutes during Thursday's Europa League clash with Zurich.

Impact Elneny returned to the starting XI after participating in training earlier in the work. The midfielder was taken off after 62 minutes, being replaced by Thomas Partey. Elneny is uncertain to make his return to Premier League action before the World Cup break, though he has two chances to do so. Elneny made one start and was an unused substitute three times before picking up the hamstring injury,

Bukayo Saka - Will be available for Europa League Saka (ankle) will be available for Thursday's Europa League clash against FC Zurich, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed Wednesday.

Impact Saka had to be taken off before the half hour mark of last weekend's victory against Nottingham Forest after picking up an ankle injury, but Arteta said he only missed a few training sessions and "was fine" on Wednesday. Reiss Nelson replaced him on the right wing and impressed against Forest, but Saka remains the undisputed first choice when fit.

Mohamed Elneny - Spotted in training Elneny (hamstring) participated in Wednesday's training session ahead of Thursday's UEL match against FC Zurich.

Impact Elneny likely still needs a few days in training before he's allowed to play but this is still a good sign as he's been out for the better part of the last two months. Manager Mikel Arteta said Wednesday that Elneny has "recovered now in a really good way." When fit, he can provide further depth among the defensive-midfielders.

Oleksandr Zinchenko - Returns to training Zinchenko (calf) participated in Wednesday's training session ahead of Thursday's UEL match against FC Zurich, according to Simon Collings of the Evening Standard.

Impact Zinchenko might be back in training but don't count on much until he gets the all-clear from manager Mikel Arteta. While waiting for that news, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu should continue to alternate appearances at left-back.

Bukayo Saka - Trains Wednesday Saka (ankle) participated in Wednesday's training session ahead of Thursday's UEL match against FC Zurich, according to Simon Collings of the Evening Standard.

Impact Saka evidently departed with an ankle issue from Sunday's 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest but is lucky to be back after a few days of rest. In order to keep him fit, it seems likely that Reiss Nelson would get another chance to start after scoring twice and logging one assist in relief of Saka. Alternatively, Fabio Vieira started in the Oct. 27 loss to PSV and could keep his place as a Europa League regular as he's started in all five matches of the group stage.

Aaron Ramsdale - Two save clean sheet Ramsdale made two saves while keeping the sheet clean during Sunday's 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact As the score sheet would indicate, Ramsdale wasn't terribly troubled by an overmatched Forest squad. That said, the Gunners' keeper has been excellent this season behind a stout back line. If he continues converting clean sheets at over 40 percent (five in 12 starts), he's a borderline must-start option most match weeks.

William Saliba - Contributes to clean sheet Saliba made two tackles (two won), one clearance and one interception while contributing to the clean sheet effort during Sunday's 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Saliba was replaced for a fresh set of legs in Kieran Tierney during the 76th and acquitted himself quite nicely until that point. He and fellow center defense partner Gabriel did well to maintain the clean sheet against an overmatched Forest squad, and Arsenal returned to the top of the table with the result. Saliba won't contribute regularly on attack but is one of the more reliable defenders in the league.

Gabriel Jesus - Brace of assists in rout Jesus logged two assists on four chances created, took seven shots (three on target) and won three tackles during Sunday's 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact This is another nice fantasy outing for Jesus, who was back in the starting XI after taking a breather on the bench during Arsenal's last UCL tilt with PSV. He delivered well-timed assists to Reiss Nelson and Martin Odegaard during the 52nd and 78th minutes, respectively, and played the full 90. He's a danger to score or assist whenever he finds the XI and is one of the premium striker options in EPL.

Thomas Partey - Scores in wide victory Partey scored one goal to go with four shots (one on target), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 5-0 win versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Partey's immense talent was on full display as he netted an impressive, bending strike into the top right during the 57th minute. The goal gave his Arsenal squad a comfortable 4-0 lead and was assisted by Reiss Nelson. Partey isn't expected to score regularly, but fantasy managers and Arsenal supporters will certainly be pleased with Sunday's outcome. On the league season, the holding midfielder now has two tallies in nine matches.

Martin Odegaard - Big fantasy outing in rout Odegaard tallied one goal on three shots (one on target), created five chances with 11 crosses (two accurate) and delivered seven corners during Sunday's 5-0 victory over Nottingha...

Impact Odegaard was exceptional Sunday, and the score sheet certainly reflects both his quality and involvement. His 11 crosses were a team-high, and his 78th minute goal put the icing on the cake of the blowout victory. Odegaard is a key piece for Arsenal in the middle of the pitch, and he's averaging about 2.5 shots and crosses per match. He's now logged four goals to go with two assists on the league season.

Impact Martinelli was extremely efficient with his touches in this one, and he didn't waste much time finding the score sheet, either. He headed home a well-taken Bukayo Saka assist during the fifth minute to put Arsenal on the board and open the scoring for the afternoon. It was his fifth goal to go with two assists on the league season, and he may be leaned upon even more heavily in upcoming matches if Saka misses time with a knock he took in this contest.

Reiss Nelson - Brace, assist in relief Nelson scored two goals and added an assist on three shots and two chances created during Sunday's 5-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Nelson came on for an injured Bukayo Saka during the 27th minute and certainly made the most of his relief appearance. Shortly after half time, he tallied two goals within three minutes of each other to give Arsenal a 3-0 cushion. Nelson's value will be partly dependent on Saka's health going forward, but this was certainly an impressive performance nonetheless.
