Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard not involved in Arsenal open training this morning | OneFootball

Arsenal return to Premier League action on Saturday and will look to pick up all three points when Sunderland visit the Emirates Stadium.

A victory will be huge for the Gunners as they look to win the Premier League title, but manager Mikel Arteta could have fresh injury concerns.

Arsenal had an open training session this morning and the trio of Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were not involved, according to Sky Sports.

While Saka missed the game against Chelsea on Tuesday due to a knock he picked up shortly before kick-off against Leeds United last Saturday, Timber played the whole game and Arsenal fans could be worried about his fitness.

Odegaard was left out of the Gunners’ squad for their Carabao Cup semi-final as a precaution, and it remains to be seen whether he will return to training ahead of the weekend.

The Norwegian featured against Leeds, coming off the bench to play 29 minutes.

Arsenal need their key players against Sunderland and Arteta will be hoping for some good news on the fitness of the aforementioned trio.

He admitted that Odegaard felt a niggle during the Leeds game and was not feeling comfortable on Monday.

The Arsenal skipper will be desperate to be available for the weekend after he was started on the bench against the Whites.

The Gunners visit Brentford next Thursday for their next league game after Saturday before hosting third-tier strugglers Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round next Sunday.

A trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers follows on February 18 before they take on Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby on February 22.

Saka and Odegaard will hope to be available for that game if they have not returned before then, but the current situation of Timber is unknown after his appearance on Tuesday.
