Mikel Arteta on Saka, Zinchenko and Smith Rowe
Bukayo Saka could be doubted for their match against Southampton. Saka was taken off after picking up an injury against PSV. Mikel Arteta on Saka after the match said,
“Yeah, he got a kick; he was limping a bit, but hopefully, he will be fine.”

In addition, Zinchenko has missed seven-game due to injury after making a move from Man City. Zinchenko is suffering from a knee injury.
Mikel Arteta on Zinchenko said,
“ I think he’s close. He’s getting better and better, and he’s progressing really well. He had a setback on an injury that he got at the start of the season, which is a shame, but knowing Alex, he will be back very soon.”
Also, Smith Rowe has been sidelined since their loss against Manchester United on Sept 4 . Smith Rowe picked up a groin injury which resulted in surgery for the English midfielder.
Mikel Arteta speaking on Sept 30 said,
” It is very difficult to give a timeline. It depends on the first process, how the bones heal, how was his first reaction, his improvement and how he’s adapting. We need to go step by step.”
The good thing for Arsenal is the next international break will be the World Cup which will help their players rest and recover well.
