Saka left the action at Old Trafford in the final few minutes of his last outing after a strong challenge from Sofyan Amrabat saw him tumble down the side of the pitch and into the advertising hoardings.

Injury: Unspecified.

What Arteta has said: "I think he's going to be fine."

Potential return date: Everton (H) - May 19.

Jurrien Timber

Timber suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on the opening weekend of the Premier League season against Nottingham Forest, missing a large chunk of the campaign. The 22-year-old defender has recently returned to action, regularly featuring for under-21s.

He helped the young Gunners secure a 2-0 win over Liverpool at the end of last month, as well as scoring in a 2-2 draw with Blackburn Rovers, but has not been included in any of the Gunners' matchday squads of late.

Injury: Knee.

What Arteta has said: "We are going to have to make that decision tomorrow after the training session. It's very close. I don't know if it is going to come a bit too early this one, but is very close, I'd say."

Potential return date: Everton (H) - May 19.
