William Saliba - Comfortable outing Saturday Saliba had one tackle (zero won) and one interception in Saturday's 4-0 victory against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Arsenal cruised to a comfortable victory against the Cherries, and Saliba had little work throughout the entire contest. The defender went the full 90 with no problems, so he should remain in the starting lineup when Arsenal travel to France to take on Lens in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

Declan Rice - Starts despite back injury Rice took three corners and had one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 win versus AFC Bournemouth. He also made three tackles, winning three.

Impact Rice controlled the tempo in midfield and was active in the middle of the park as Arsenal cruised to a comfortable victory. Given he played 81 minutes with little issue, he should be able to start Tuesday against Lens in the UEFA Champions League.

Bukayo Saka - Scores, picks up injury Saka scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth. He was subbed off due to injury...

Impact Saka was a constant threat on the wing and scored for the third game in a row in all competitions, but he was forced to leave the game midway through the second half with an apparent injury. As such, he should be considered doubtful for the team's next two games before the international break: at Lens in the Champions League and against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Fabio Vieira - Plays off bench Vieira logged 14 minutes off the bench Saturday against Bournemouth. He finished with one chance created, two corners, one tackle and one interception.

Impact Vieira didn't play midweek, but he was healthy enough to feature off the bench as the Gunners cruised to an easy win over Bournemouth. Vieira should remain a bench alternative going forward, as evidenced by the fact that he's started just two games across all competitions in 2023/24.

Fabio Vieira - Facing late test Vieira is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "William had a knock and Fabio wasn't involved in the last game, so we have to assess them...

Impact Vieira is a doubt after missing Wednesday's EFL Cup clash with Brentford. The midfielder hasn't trained since that match and is a heavy doubt for Saturday's trip. Vieira could see more minutes if deemed fit with a plethora of injuries elsewhere in the first team.

William Saliba - Uncertain against Bournemouth Saliba (undisclosed) is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "William had a knock and Fabio wasn't involved in the last game, so we have...

Impact Saliba was absent in Carabao Cup action and it's now revealed that was due to a knock. The defender is the first name on the team sheet when fit and will hope to overcome this issue and get back on the pitch immediately for Saturday's clash.

Gabriel Martinelli - Yet to train Martinelli (hamstring) has not trained before Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We want them back, we need them back, but at the moment, they hav...

Impact Martinelli missed out against PSV and Tottenham and seems set to miss yet another match. The winger will hope to complete his recovery before returning for a Tuesday trip to Lens on the Champions League or an Oct. 8 clash with Manchester City in Premier League action.

Leandro Trossard - Not training Trossard (strain) didn't train before Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "We want them back, we need them back, but at the moment, they have not bee...

Impact Trossard won't be an option for Saturday's trip barring a major turnaround in Friday's session. The winger is dealing with a muscular issue that knocked him out of Carabao Cup contention against Brentford. Gabriel Jesus could start on the wing with Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli in doubt.

Declan Rice - Still yet to train Rice (back) didn't train before Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, but could make a return Friday, manager Mikel Arteta announced. "Declan wasn't available for Brentford and he hasn't...

Impact Rice is hoping to make a full return to training Friday as he works to get back for Saturday's clash. With a Champions League trip to Lens mid week and a top of the table clash with Manchester City on the horizon it's more likely than not that Rice won't be risked unless he is fully fit for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth.

Bukayo Saka - Doubt to face Bournemouth Saka (undisclosed) is a doubt for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "The assessment is 'okay, is he fit enough and good enough to be able to...

Impact This isn't too helpful from Arteta, but Saka has battled through minor issues in the past and it's still expected he'll be able to start Saturday. Given the injuries in the side, there's a chance Arsenal will look a bit different Saturday, though Arteta could also be making the injuries sound worse than they actually are. If Saka can't go, Reiss Nelson could even get a league start.

Leandro Trossard - In doubt Saturday Trossard (strain) will be a doubt against Bournemouth on Saturday after manager Mikel Arteta told reporters, "Let's see day by day how he improves and whether he's got a chance for...

Impact Trossard won't be an option to face Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday after having already been sidelined versus Spurs on Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, the forward started two of his four appearances for the club in which he registered two goals on two shots (two on target), one assist, nine crosses (five accurate) and two corners. Given his productivity when given minutes, Trossard could be given more minutes once back from his muscular injury.

Declan Rice - Expected to be monitored this week Rice (back) has not returned to training and will be monitored for the next few days to determine the timetable of his return, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "Declan hasn't tra...

Impact Rice is not expected to play in the Carabao Cup Wednesday as his status for the weekend is up in the air. If the midfielder cannot play Saturday, then Kai Havertz could see his first league start at midfield since Sep 20.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gabriel Martinelli - Aiming for weened return Martinelli (hamstring) wont play in the Carabao Cup clash against Brentford on Wednesday and will aim for a return for Saturday's match against Bournemouth. "Tomorrow is too short...

Impact Martinelli has sat out the last two matches with a hamstring issue. He will also miss the Carabao Cup midweek as he will look to be fit for Saturday. He's already assisted twice on 24 crosses (five accurate) in five games thus far. Gabriel Jesus should continue to get the start at left wing until he is fully fit.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bukayo Saka - Yet to train since derby Saka (undisclosed) has yet to train since Sunday's derby, according to manager Mikel Arteta. "He was limping quite badly after the match as you know. We had to get him off the fiel...

Impact Saka still has a couple days to get in training and it's all but certain he'll be out of the midweek match. That said, he's battled through minor issues in the past and Arteta didn't seem overly worried about the injury at Tuesday's press conference. If he can't play Saturday, there will have to be tweaks to Arsenal's starting XI at Bournemouth.
