Arsenal are still battling a number of injury issues as they prepare to return to Premier League action against Wolves this weekend.

After Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, the Gunners returned to winning ways with a comfortable victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Mikel Arteta was able to welcome back Riccardo Calafiori and Ethan Nwaneri to the squad with the Italy international remaining among the subs while his teenage star emerged from the bench to play the final half hour in north London.

But Myles Lewis-Skelly became the latest Arsenal player to be struck by injury leading into that game, left out of the squad as a result of the knock picked up in the draw against Villa.

William Saliba meanwhile has missed the last two games but Arteta had some encouraging words over the defender’s return this week.

While the trip to Molineux could come too soon for him, the Gunners boss is confident he will be available again for the visit of Manchester City on 2 February.

Bukayo Saka meanwhile remains sidelined along with Gabriel Jesus after the Brazil international underwent anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
