Arteta provides big injury update on Raya, Timber, White and Merino for Leicester clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an injury update on four players ahead of the Premier League clash against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners have picked up 11 points from their opening five games of the season.

They played out a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last weekend and will expect to beat Leicester this weekend.

Arteta has delivered an injury update on four first-team players ahead of the game.

The manager revealed that David Raya remains doubtful with a muscle injury and will need to be assessed ahead of tomorrow’s afternoon kick-off.

He also confirmed that Jurrien Timber will take part in training today and he will be available in the squad alongside Ben White.

However, the game will come too soon for Mikel Merino, who was involved in partial training today after recovering from a minor fracture on his shoulder.

Arsenal have had a tough schedule on paper with away trips to Aston Villa, Tottenham and City in the first five games.

They now have the opportunity to build momentum with home games against Leicester and Southampton.
