Saka, Timber - Arsenal injury list and return dates before Brighton clash

Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Fresh from a comfortable midweek victory where little energy was expended, Arsenal hit the road to meet Brighton & Hove Albion in Saturday evening's Premier League clash at the Amex.

Mikel Arteta's men rose back to the top of the table with a routine 2-0 win over Luton Town on Wednesday evening, where Martin Odegaard's opener preceded a Daiki Hashioka own goal.

Consequently, the Gunners usurped Liverpool by a single point to return to the summit, although they dropped down to the silver medal position thanks to the Reds' win over basement side Sheffield United on Thursday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Brighton, who played out a goalless draw with Brentford in midweek.


Bukayo Saka

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Fatigue
Possible return date: April 6 (vs. Brighton)

After his enforced withdrawal from last weekend's Manchester City draw owing to fatigue, Saka was a last-minute dropout from the squad to face Luton due to a small complication. However, Arteta is confident that the England international will make a full recovery in time to take on the Seagulls.


Jurrien Timber

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Jurrien Timber is ramping up the intensity of his training sessions as he approaches the eight-month mark since his last appearance for the Gunners, and while a return before the end of the season is on the cards, he is expected to play at least one match for the Under-21s before being considered for senior selection.
