Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal trio have not trained yet

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Martinelli have not trained ahead of the Premier League meeting against Manchester City.

The Gunners are currently top of the league table with 64 points. The club are currently goal difference ahead of Liverpool while they are one point in front of the Cityzens.

Arteta's side will travel to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday evening and ahead of the game, the manager has confirmed that three of his main players are yet to return to training.

However, the Spaniard added that there is a chance that Saka, Gabriel and Martinelli could be involved. The trio will be assessed in the final training session on Sunday.

He said: "Yeah there is a chance. They haven’t trained. Tomorrow we have another session, but there is a chance they can be available."

The Gunners have a dreadful record against the Cityzens in the league with one win in the last 13 meetings. However, the victory came in the reverse fixture earlier this term.
