The coach is not sure if the Ukrainian will be able to play in the next match
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta said that the Ukrainian defender Alexander Zinchenko recovering and will be back on the field soon. However, his participation in the next match of the Gunners is still in question.
“I think he’s close [к возвращению]. He’s getting better and better, and he’s progressing really well. Zinchenko had problems due to an injury that he received at the beginning of the season, unfortunately. But knowing Alex, he’ll be back very soon.”
“Whether he will play in the next match, I can’t say right now. We always take it into account.”
The 25-year-old Ukrainian has missed the last five matches of the Gunners due to injury. Earlier, Arteta said that Alexander would return to action before the start of the 2022 World Cup.
This season, Zinchenko has six games in all tournaments for the Gunners, in which Alexander scored one assist.
Arsenal lead the Premier League with a three-point lead over nearest rivals Man City. The Gunners’ next match will be away to Southampton on 23 October.
