Injuries could prevent Aaron Ramsdale and Martin Odegaard from traveling to Old Trafford with Arsenal for Sunday’s Premier League matchup with Manchester United.

Both players sustained injuries during Wednesday night’s 2-1 victory over Aston Villa; Ramsdale persevered through pain to finish the game, which was Arsenal’s fifth victory in their first five games. Odegaard was forced off the field as a result of his injury.

As injuries start to take a toll, Arteta said in his pre-game press conference on Friday that neither are guaranteed to play a part for Arsenal against Old Trafford as he considers rearranging his pack once more.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, a summer addition, is also anticipated to miss the United vs. Arsenal game owing to a continuing knee injury.

“Those two [Ramsdale and Odegaard] are being assessed, we will see more tomorrow. Hopefully they will be able to train with the team,” Arteta was quoted on arsenal.com.

“Unfortunately with Alex [Zinchenko] that’s still not the case, he missed two games and has not been able to train with the team yet.”

Arteta provided some prospective timeframes for the midfield duo of Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, who are both out of the game due to hamstring and thigh injuries, respectively.

“With Mo (Elneny) it’s probably a little bit easier and we are talking months,” the Arsenal boss said.

“With Thomas, hopefully we are talking weeks or even shorter than that I hope.

“We have tried to manage [Thomas].

“A lot has happened since he joined and we are trying to find the best possible way to find the reason why that happens, but unfortunately, the body and mind are two different groups so sometimes to understand that you can’t put your finger on a single thing to try to prevent something happening.

“The attitude of the player is there and he’s really disappointed to be out again as you can imagine, and the team needs him when he’s back.”

After winning each of their first five games, Arsenal sits atop the Premier League standings.
