Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Arsenal injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

After winning their first two league games of the season for the first time in 10 years, Arsenal's next fixture will see them travel to European champions Liverpool.

Gunners boss Unai Emery gave first starts to new signings Dani Ceballos and David Luiz against Burnley, with the Spanish midfielder leaving the Emirates to a standing ovation after an excellent performance.

Although there are still a number of players on the treatment table for the North London side, Saturday's game did see Sead Kolasinac return to action after the recent police investigation regarding an attack on him and teammate Mesut Ozil last month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of next weekend's trip to Anfield.


Mesut Ozil

Status: Slight doubt Type of injury: Lacking match fitness Possible return date: August 24 (vs. Liverpool)

Ozil has missed the Gunners' opening two games of the season owing both to the police investigation and a lack of full match fitness. An update on his availability is expected later this week.


Hector Bellerin

Bellerin is still making good progress with the knee injury he suffered at the start of this year and is expected to return to full training in October.

Status: Out Type of injury: Groin Possible return date: October 21 (vs. Sheffield United)

Greek defender Mavropanos is expected to be out for at least another six weeks as he recovers from a groin injury.

Swiss midfielder Xhaka missed the game with Burnley with bruising to his lower back and leg, but is expected to be assessed again before the trip to Merseyside.
