Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Aaron Ramsdale is a major doubt for Monday's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.
The England international picked up a hip injury against Liverpool last month and he subsequently missed the Aston Villa trip.
He has since been under rehabilitation, but Arteta has admitted that he remains a big doubt for the upcoming London derby.
Ramsdale has yet to return to regular training with his teammates, and barring a miracle, he looks set to miss the Palace game.
Meanwhile, Arteta provided a promising update on right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu, but refused to confirm his availability.
The Japan international has suffered multiple calf injuries this year, and Arteta said that he will be assessed ahead of Monday.
Arsenal are currently fourth in the Premier League standings with 54 points, three ahead of Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.
They are in a good position to end their five-year Champions League exile, but can't afford any slip-ups against mid-table sides.
