Arteta provides fresh Arsenal injury update for Sunderland clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh injury update ahead of the Premier League clash against Sunderland on the road tomorrow.

The Gunners are currently on a five-match winning streak in the English top-flight and they are favourites to pick up another victory on Saturday.

Ahead of the game, Arteta has said that there will be no returnees. The squad will remain the same from the 3-0 Champions League win at Slavia Prague.

However, the Spanish tactician hinted that there could be good news after the international break with the possibility of several players returning.

Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus could all return to action after the break.

Arsenal are presently six points ahead of second-placed Manchester City, and could extend the gap with a win against the Black Cats this weekend.

City have a tough looking fixture against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium, and there is a possibility that they could drop points from the game.
