Arsenal injury, suspension list vs. Burnley

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture with Burnley.

Arsenal head into their first home fixture of the campaign against Burnley with their supporters optimistic that they can return to the top four in the Premier League table.

After a number of quality additions, the Gunners began their season by registering a 1-0 victory over Newcastle United at St James' Park.

Three points were achieved despite Unai Emery leaving his new signings among the replacements, while a number of players still remain in the treatment room.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture in North London.

Ozil - as well as teammate Sead Kolasinac - was ruled out of the game against Newcastle as a result of an ongoing police investigation regarding an attack last month. An update is expected later this week.
