Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Sheffield United

Arsenal injury, suspension list vs. Sheffield United

Arsenal will resume their FA Cup campaign with a trip to Bramall Lane as they prepare to face fellow European hopefuls Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners finally managed to pick up all three points in the Premier League for the first time since the restart on Thursday, with goals from Eddie Nketiah and Joe Willock setting Arsenal on their way to a 2-0 victory over Southampton.

Mikel Arteta's side must now turn their attention to the FA Cup as they look to record a 14th triumph in the competition and a potential route into Europe for the 2020-21 campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with the Blades.


Gabriel Martinelli

Teenage starlet Gabriel Martinelli suffered a knee injury during a training session earlier in the week. The Brazilian attacker has since undergone surgery and will not be available for the remainder of the campaign.


Bernd Leno

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: Unknown

Bernd Leno was forced off on a stretcher during Arsenal's defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion after colliding with Neal Maupay. The goalkeeper's injury is not as serious as first feared, though, and he is expected to return to full training within the next six weeks.


Pablo Mari

Status: Out Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: Unknown

January arrival Pablo Mari, who recently penned a permanent deal with the Gunners, departed early in Arsenal's defeat to Manchester City with an ankle sprain. The defender has since undergone a successful procedure on the injury but will not return to training for another two or three months.


Lucas Torreira

Status: Out Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: July 7 (vs. Leicester City)

Lucas Torreira suffered a fractured ankle in Arsenal's last FA Cup fixture against Portsmouth. The Uruguayan is progressing well with his rehabilitation and could make a return to action in the next couple of weeks.

Calum Chambers has not featured for the Gunners since suffering a cruciate ligament injury against Chelsea in December. The Englishman has returned to work in the gym but will not be available for the rest of the campaign.


Cedric Soares

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Facial Possible return date: July 1 (vs. Norwich City)

Cedric Soares has been forced to wait for his Arsenal debut after suffering a facial injury. The initial loan move for the right-back from Southampton has since been made permanent, and Cedric could play a part in Arsenal's midweek game against Norwich City.
