Arsenal began November where they left off in October with victory and a clean sheet.
The Gunners beat Burnley 2-0 on Saturday to record their ninth straight win across all competitions, keeping a seventh successive shut-out in the process.
Mikel Arteta’s side continue to lead the way in the Premier League, but attentions shift towards Champions League action on Tuesday evening and a trip to Czechia to face Slavia Prague.
Arsenal have made a perfect start to the league phase of Europe’s premier competition, beating Athletic Club, Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid, and will be out to take a big step towards qualification.
While the Gunners were boosted by the return of William Saliba from injury at the weekend, they have been handed a couple of fresh concerns heading into the game against Slavia.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal injury news.
Viktor Gyokeres
After ending his Premier League goal drought by breaking the deadlock in the 14th minute at Turf Moor, Viktor Gyokeres was forced off at half-time and replaced by Mikel Merino.
The Swede was praised for arguably his best performance in an Arsenal shirt to date following a big money summer transfer from Sporting, but Mikel Arteta confirmed the striker was forced of with a “little niggle”.
“I think that was one of the best games he (Gyokeres) has played,” said Arteta. “I think overall his performance was exceptional.
Subsequently, the Brazilian winger missed the wins over Brighton and Burnley, with a timescale regarding a return not clear just yet.
When pressed for an update on Martinelli ahead of the trip to Turf Moor, Arteta said: “We don’t know yet, but I think this game is going to come too early for him.”
Potential return date: Unknown
Martin Odegaard
Martin Odegaard has had no luck with injuries so far this season, but he is one of three Arsenal players hopeful of returning to action after the international break.
After making a full recovery from a troublesome shoulder problem, disaster struck for the Gunners captain against West Ham last month as he suffered a medial collateral ligament injury.
Asked on Friday about his captain, Arteta said he is hopeful the playmaker will be back in time for the north London derby against Tottenham later this month.
Potential return date: November 23, 2025 vs Tottenham (H)
Noni Madueke
The summer signing from Chelsea was enjoying an impressive start to life at Arsenal, but suffered a setback in the draw against Manchester City.
Withdrawn at half-time because of a knee complaint, fortunately scans the next day showed Noni Madueke had not suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The winger has missed the last nine games in a row across all competitions. That number will increase to 11 following the two fixtures this week, but he could return – alongside Odegaard – for the north London derby.
Potential return date: November 23, 2025 vs Tottenham (H)
Kai Havertz
Kai Havertz has not featured for Arsenal since a second half substitute appearance in the win over Manchester United on the opening weekend of the new season.
After complaining of discomfort in his knee, the German international required minor surgery to correct the issue.
If all goes to plan, Arsenal’s No29 could be available for selection again after the international break to provide even further competition in attack.
On Friday, when asked if he hopes Havertz, Madueke and Odegaard will be back for the Tottenham game, Arteta said: “Yeah.
“And [I am] excited because they are tremendous players. I see them work every single day, how desperate they are to be part of the team.
“[It will be] a huge boost for the squad to have those players available again after such a long, long time. So, really happy that I think it is going to be very soon.”
