Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Arsenal injury, suspension list vs. Wolves

Arsenal bring the curtain down on a memorable Premier League campaign when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners' title dreams crashed and burned in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend, where Taiwo Awoniyi's goal secured survival for Steve Cooper's men.

Nevertheless, Mikel Arteta will soon lead Arsenal into the Champions League for the first time in seven years, as the North London club prepare to end the season as runners-up to Manchester City.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Julen Lopetegui's men, who occupy 13th place in the table heading into gameweek 38.


Bukayo Saka

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Unspecified Possible return date: May 28 (vs. Wolves)

Arteta revealed in his pre-game press conference that Bukayo Saka was doubtful for the final day due to an unspecified concern, and while the 21-year-old is not nursing anything serious, he may enjoy a well-earned rest either way.


Leandro Trossard

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Unspecified Possible return date: May 28 (vs. Wolves)

As is the case with Saka, there is a question mark over the fitness of fellow attacker Leandro Trossard, who is also nursing an unspecified issue and is touch-and-go for Sunday's game.


Mohamed Elneny

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

Mohamed Elneny has been seen running on the London Colney pitches as he steps up his recovery from a serious knee injury, but he will watch the Gunners' final game of the season from the sidelines.


Takehiro Tomiyasu

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

Similarly, Takehiro Tomiyasu sustained a campaign-ending knee injury during March's Europa League last-16 second leg with Sporting Lisbon, and he remains on the long road to rehabilitation.


William Saliba

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

Arteta has always refused to rule William Saliba out for the season, but with the centre-back only progressing slowly in his recuperation from a back injury, he is virtually guaranteed to be absent for the visit of Wolves.


Oleksandr Zinchenko

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

On the other hand, Arteta has conceded that Oleksandr Zinchenko has played for the last time in the 2022-23 campaign due to the calf injury that he picked up at Newcastle United earlier this month.


Gabriel Martinelli

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

Gabriel Martinelli damaged his ankle in a challenge from Brighton & Hove Albion's Moises Caicedo on May 14, and the Brazilian is not expected to return to full fitness for a few weeks at least.


Reiss Nelson

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Illness Possible return date: May 28 (vs. Wolves)

Reiss Nelson was absent from last weekend's loss to Forest due to illness, but the attacker - who is out of contract in the summer - could return on Sunday for what may be his farewell Emirates appearance.


ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Arsenal have no players suspended for this game.
