Arteta gives injury update vs Everton

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has dismissed the club’s winger Bukayo Saka’s injury ahead of their weekend game vs Everton.

The Gunners have been defeated three times on their visits to Goodison Park, winning just one of their last seven matches there.

They will be going into the game unbeaten this season, following their  3-1 win over Manchester United before the International break.

There were fears that Saka could miss the trip to Everton due to a niggling Achilles problem.

But in his Friday pre-match statement on Friday, Arteta insisted there are no fresh injury worries: “Bukayo is fine. He trained normally today, so there’s nothing to report there.

“Every player has pains or issues, but it’s nothing to worry about. They all came back well and trained today, so they are in a good place.”

Speaking about Partey, Arteta said the Ghana midfielder is still a “few weeks away” from returning to the team.
