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

Arsenal will aim to continue their perfect start to the 2022-23 Premier League season when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners were all over Aston Villa at the Emirates on Wednesday evening but could only scrape a 2-1 win, as Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli struck either side of Douglas Luiz's equaliser direct from a corner.

Having now won five from five in the 2022-23 Premier League campaign, Arsenal continue to lead the way at the top of the table, but injuries are now starting to bedevil Mikel Arteta.

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

The luckless Thomas Partey was not available against Villa or Fulham the previous weekend due to yet another thigh injury, and Arteta expects the Ghanaian to be out for "weeks" with the issue.

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

Mohamed Elneny played through the pain of a hamstring injury against Fulham and was unavailable for the win over Aston Villa, and the Egyptian's injury is a significant one, so Arsenal will have to cope without another of their midfielders for a number of months.

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: September 8 (vs. Zurich)

Oleksandr Zinchenko was not quite ready to make his return from a minor knee sprain against Aston Villa, and the left-back has not trained with the team ahead of this game, so he is seemingly set to miss out once more.
