Mikel Arteta provides cryptic Arsenal injury update ahead of Liverpool clash

Mikel Arteta refused to name the Arsenal player who he hopes will return to training on the eve of his side’s trip to Liverpool.

The Gunners are currently eight points clear in the Premier League title race ahead of their clash against Anfield. In contrast, the Reds are eighth in the table and 10 points outside the Champions League spots.

Arsenal currently have Takehiro Tomiyasu sidelined for the rest of the rest of the season. William Saliba, Eddie Nketiah and Mohamed Elneny have also been on the treatment table.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Arteta says there’s no a big chance on the injury front but one could be back. He said: “No real changes with the rest of the players that were still injured. We have some hope with one of them who will maybe be able to train but we'll see.”
