Arsenal faces injury concerns ahead of Bournemouth title clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided injury updates ahead of Saturday's Premier League match against Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners aim to extend their lead over Manchester City to 12 points with a win, but face potential squad issues as Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Piero Hincapie, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber all missed Thursday's training session. Arteta confirmed the injury situation has changed since yesterday, stating 'I don't know. Some of them' when questioned about player availability. Eberechi Eze has recovered from a niggle and is available for selection after initially wanting to return last week. The recovery timeline for the other players remains unclear as Arteta didn't provide specific return dates. Arsenal's title ambitions could be affected depending on which key players are available for this crucial match.
