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

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Premier League fixture with Manchester City.

Arsenal square off against Manchester City on Wednesday night looking to further boost their chances of earning a place in the top five in the Premier League table.

Given the uncertainty over their hosts' participation in next season's Champions League, the Gunners are looking to edge out a number of teams who sit just above them.

Mikel Arteta's side warmed up for this rearranged fixture with a 1-0 victory over West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the trip to the Etihad Stadium.


Lucas Torreira

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

Having sustained a fractured ankle against Portsmouth last week, Torreira will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. As it stands, an expected recovery time has not been revealed.


Sead Kolasinac

Status: Out
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: April 4 (vs. Norwich City)

Sead Kolasinac had only just returned from another problem when he suffered a shoulder injury against Everton last month. The Bosnian is aiming to return to full training by the end of the month in a bid to feature in the squad from the start of April.


Calum Chambers

Chambers suffered a torn ACL at the end of last year against Chelsea. The defender has undergone successful surgery but will not feature again this season.


Kieran Tierney

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Shoulder
Possible return date: March 11 (vs. Man City)

Arteta revealed last week that Tierney had come through a number of training sessions after recovering from a dislocated shoulder. While a return at the weekend appears more likely, do not be surprised if the Scot features on the substitutes' bench against City.


Cedric Soares

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: April 4 (vs. Norwich)

While Soares is due to return to full training after a knee injury on Monday, the Portuguese may have to wait until April 4 for his debut. The two matches this week will come too early, while the right-back is cup-tied for the FA Cup quarter-final tie at Sheffield United on March 21.
