Mikel Arteta says Arsenal could see the return of Oleksandr Zinchenko from injury before the end of the season while William Saliba is unlikely to play the next two games.
A report from The Athletic claimed Arsenal’s defensive duo would not be involved again for the remainder of the campaign as the Gunners fight on for the title with Man City, who have a one-point advantage with a game in hand.
But Arteta has said there is no confirmation about the duration of either players’ spell on the sidelines.
“With William it’s for sure he’s not going to be fit for this game and we’re doubting him for next game,” Arteta said ahead of Sunday’s visit of Brighton, live on Sky Sports.
Asked if Zinchenko had kicked his last ball this season, Arteta said: “No.”
