Arsenal have a handful of injury doubts heading into this afternoon\u2019s Premier League clash with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

After a spate of withdrawals through the international break, the overwhelming majority of those players returned to motion either in last weekend\u2019s FA Cup defeat to Southampton or the midweek Champions League victory over Sporting CP.<\/p>\n

An open training session on Thursday provided more clues into the state of Mikel Arteta\u2019s squad with Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard, Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie not joining their teammates on the grass.<\/p>\n

Chatting with the press on Friday, Arteta suggested a few of those players had stepped up their returns with today\u2019s game in mind \u2013 but declined to call those within the frame.<\/p>\n

Saka has not played because the Carabao Cup final, also sitting out of England\u2019s international friendlies against Uruguay and Japan. Timber meanwhile missed that defeat at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Odegaard\u2019s situation has been made slightly more complicated after comments from his international manager Stale Solbakken, who claimed the Norway has suffered an injury setback.<\/p>\n

The Arsenal captain has missed 11 games this 12 months but began against Southampton and Sporting before being replaced with 20 minutes left in Lisbon.<\/p>\n

There was a bit more clarity on Eberechi Eze. Despite fears he could miss as much as six weeks of motion, the previous Crystal Palace star is obtainable this weekend.<\/p>\n

Arsenal XI to face Bournemouth \u2013 Metro prediction<\/h2>\n

Arteta can have some big decisions to make in attack with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli each impressing off the bench against Sporting.<\/p>\n

Given how little Arteta was making a gift of on the status of Saka and Timber, there may be the chance they won’t be risked.<\/p>\n
