Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber both remain doubts for Arsenal\u2019s Premier League clash with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have been dealing with a number of injury concerns that emerged leading up to and during the international break.<\/p>\n

William Saliba, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard returned to action in the FA Cup defeat to Southampton last weekend and the Champions League win over Sporting CP on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Magalhaes was forced off at St Mary\u2019s but was fit enough to return to the starting XI midweek.<\/p>\n

With focus now shifting back to Premier League matters, Arteta is still battling other issues.<\/p>\n

Saka and Timber missed both games against Southampton and Sporting with the latter also missing the Carabao Cup final before the international break.<\/p>\n

The pair were not spotted in an open training session on Thursday, with Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori also absent.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta gave little away during Friday\u2019s pre-match press conference but did confirm there have been changes since Thursday\u2019s session \u2013 without confirming who was back among their teammates on Friday.<\/p>\n

Hincapie has been ruled out however as he recovers from a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze injury latest<\/h2>\n

Eze meanwhile has not featured since his starring role in Arsenal\u2019s victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie last month.<\/p>\n

The former Crystal Palace star was another to miss the Carabao Cup final, also sitting out of England\u2019s friendlies against Uruguay and Japan and Arsenal\u2019s games against Southampton and Sporting.<\/p>\n

He was however spotted back in training on Thursday, despite suggestions he could be out of action for up to six weeks.<\/p>\n

Arteta confirmed on Friday the midfielder is \u2018available\u2019 for the visit of the Cherries.<\/p>\n

Is Martin Odegaard injured again?<\/h2>\n

Odegaard has endured an injury-stricken start to the year, missing 11 games with muscle and knee problems. <\/p>\n

Having sat out of the international break to finish his recovery, the Norway international started both games against Southampton and Sporting but was forced off with 20 minutes left in the latter.<\/p>\n

With the midfielder another who was absent from training this week, Norway boss Stale Solbakken revealed his captain had suffered a \u2018minor setback.\u2019<\/p>\n
