Bukayo Saka - Uncertain Sunday Saka (hamstring) is in doubt for Sunday's clash with Liverpool, according to manager Mikel Arteta."[Saka] has done a bit of training on the grass. How far we can get him to Sunday,...

Impact Saka would obviously be one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle if Arsenal can get him back before a potential title six-pointer. The winger has missed two matches, with eyes solely on getting back for Sunday's clash. It's still going to be tough for the winger to get fully fit in time, but he's played through discomfort before, and will be absolutely crucial if he can go.

Riccardo Calafiori - Dealing with MCL injury Calafiori (knee) will be sidelined for the next few weeks due to a MCL injury, according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.

Impact Even though the injury has been deemed minor, the Italian defender will have to spend a few weeks on the sidelines while recovering, so Arsenal's depth on the defensive line will undoubtedly take a hit without him. Calafiori has started in six of his nine appearances this season between the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, and either Oleksandr Zinchenko or Takehiro Tomiyasu will likely replace him on the left side of the defense while out.
