Granit Xhaka - Ahead of schedule Xhaka (knee) has already resumed training and is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Manager Mikel Arteta told reporters, "Hopefully he will be a little bit sooner than expected. He...
Impact While the manager didn't offer a specific updated timeline for Xhaka, it appears he may be ready sometime in December, barring any setbacks. An early return for the midfielder would certainly bolster the team's depth, especially given the busy December schedule. Once clear to play, Xhaka should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI on a weekly basis.

Nuno Tavares - Stays in starting role Nuno Tavares made four tackles (won two), two clearances and two blocks during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Nuno Tavares put together a solid defensive stat line, though he was at fault for Diogo Jota's goal as his pass went straight to Jota in a scoring position. Tavares has now started four straight matches and will look to stay in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Newcastle.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emile Smith-Rowe - Quiet during loss to Liverpool Smith-Rowe made two interceptions and one clearance during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Arsenal.
Impact Smith-Rowe had scored in three straight matches but was held out of the net against a strong defensive side. He's become a key part of Arsenal's attack this season and will likely be back in the lineup against Newcastle on Saturday.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Takes one shot during loss Aubameyang took one shot (one on target) and created one scoring chance during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Aubameyang was held in check as Liverpool's back line limited any attacking chances for Arsenal. He's now scoreless in the last three matches and will look to bounce back against Newcastle on Saturday.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Odegaard - Remains in bench role Odegaard made one tackle during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Odegaard has come off the bench in the past three matches and will look to earn a starting role back in Saturday's home match against Newcastle.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Nicolas Pepe - Unused sub against Liverpool Pepe was an unused substitute during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Pepe hasn't appeared in the last two matches and has fallen down the depth chart at Arsenal. He'll look to earn any amount of playing time during Saturday's match against Newcastle.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Ramsdale - Makes five saves, concedes four Ramsdale made five saves and conceded four goals during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Arsenal.
Impact Ramsdale had a huge first half by making multiple big saves before Liverpool completed the rout with three second-half goals. Ramsdale could do very little as two goals were tap-ins and the third was a bad defensive giveaway. He'll look to bounce back against Newcastle on Saturday.
NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Bukayo Saka - Takes two shots during loss Saka took two shots (none on target) and put in two crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Liverpool.
Impact Saka paced Arsenal in shots, though it wasn't much to celebrate as they failed to get anything of note going in Liverpool's defensive third. Saka has just one goal and two assists this season and will need to bounce back heading into Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Thomas Partey - In starting XI Saturday Partey (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Partey looks to be healthy enough to start, but he may not be ready for a full 90 returning from a groin injury. Either way, it's a tough matchup and his fantasy value is already limited playing as a defensive midfielder.
NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Starting against Liverpool Aubameyang (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Liverpool.
Impact Aubameyang is in the squad Saturday, which isn't too surprising despite Mikel Arteta's comments earlier in the week. The forward has looked better since a slow start and has six shots on goal in his last three starts, but a matchup with Liverpool won't be easy.

Kieran Tierney - Regular for Scotland over break Tierney started both matches for Scotland over the international break, his first minutes since suffering an ankle injury last month.
Impact Tierney could move back into the starting XI as soon as Saturday against Liverpool, mainly because of his experience in a huge spot. Nuno Tavares will continue to steal minutes, but for now, when healthy, Tierney is the No. 1 left-back.

Thomas Partey - Late test for Liverpool Partey (groin) needs to be assessed for Saturday's match against Liverpool because he "hasn't done enough preparation work," according to manager Mikel Arteta.
Impact Partey wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report, but Arteta has other thoughts on the subject. It looks like Ainsley Maitland-Niles could receive another start Saturday unless Partey passes his fitness tests over the next 24 hours.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - Needs to be assessed ahead of Saturday Aubameyang (undisclosed) has been training, but manager Mikel Arteta says the forward needs to be assessed ahead of Saturday's match against Liverpool. "No it wasn't pre-planned, w...
Impact Arteta is kind of disputing any of the recent updates on Aubameyang about anything revolving around the forward and a possible injury. There's a chance he misses out, but for now, it's assumed Aubameyang will be able to start against Liverpool.

NOVEMBER 19, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Thomas Partey - Not on injury report Partey (groin) was not listed on the Arsenal injury report for Saturday's match against Liverpool.
Impact This is a good sign for Partey after the Evening Standard reported that the midfielder was "hopeful" to be ready Saturday. If he's truly fit and ready to start, he'll likely take the spot of Ainsley Maitland-Niles in a huge spot against Liverpool.
