Nwaneri continued his breakthrough season for the north Londoners by opening the scoring in their Premier League draw at Brighton last Saturday.

The teenager was handed a first top flight start by Arteta in his side's previous game at Brentford, coincidentally where he also made a senior debut in September 2022.

But the Gunners' manager confirmed ahead of Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Newcastle that Nwaneri is set for a spell on the sidelines with a muscular injury.

"Unfortunately he has picked up an injury and is going to be out for a few weeks", said Arteta.

Arsenal are aiming to reach their first EFL Cup showpiece since 2018.
