Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko - Arsenal injury news and return dates for Sheffield United
Get all the most recent information about injuries affecting Arsenal ahead of their match against Sheffield United as the title race heats up.
Mikel Arteta will be focused on helping Arsenal keep up their winning streak when they play Sheffield United. As both teams look to move up the Premier League standings, Chris Wilder will welcome the Gunners at Bramall Lane on Monday night.
Arsenal is unbeaten in the competition this year and has won each of their past six games in the English top tier. Although the North Londoners have been playing quite well lately in the Premier League, they have lost to Porto in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 and to Liverpool in the FA Cup third round.
Thomas Partey
Due to a thigh injury he sustained during training, Partey has been sidelined since October. The possibility of the midfielder playing again on Monday night would be extremely beneficial for Arsenal in the title fight.
Injury: Thigh
Return date: Sheffield United (A) – Monday, March 4
Oleksandr Zinchenko
Zinchenko may find that the Gunners' visit to Bramall Lane comes too soon after missing almost a month of action because of a recurring calf ailment.
Injury: Calf
Expected return date: Brentford (H) – Saturday, March 9
Takehiro Tomiyasu
Like Zinchenko, Tomiyasu's participation on Monday will be determined by how well he performs over the weekend's training.
Injury: Calf
Expected return date: Brentford (H) – Saturday, March 9
Jurrien Timber
Timber, who left Ajax to join Arsenal in the summer, was badly injured on the first weekend of the Premier League. The Gunners' match against Nottingham Forest ended with the 22-year-old defender going down, clutching his right knee.
The north London team later disclosed that he had ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that will keep him sidelined for a significant portion of the season. As he continues to heal, Timber only went back to training earlier this week.
Injury: ACL
Expected return date: Unknown
