Both
the sides have given updates regarding the injured players ahead of the Premier League clash on Sunday at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal center-back Laurent Koscielny is out with a hamstring injury, boss Arsene
Wenger revealed after the Champions League game few days ago.
Midfielder
Mikel Arteta has been out with a minor muscle injury and could make a return
this weekend, however he would not be starting the game. Mathieu Flamini is
also with the same status as of Arteta.
Francis
Coquelin has returned to training and is expected to be back for this big game.
While
trio Danny Welbeck, Tomas Rosicky and Jack Wilshere all remains on the
sidelines.
Meanwhile
for the away side, Manchester United defender Phil Jones has returned from his
injury and is hoping for a start this weekend. He played few minutes last week
and now he has returned to full fitness. With his return to starting lineup, Daley Blind will be
moving to left-back role which will bring Matteo Darmian on his favourite
right-back position.
Duo
midfielder Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera who both missed the yesterday’s
Champions League game are expected to return this weekend.
Center-back
Marcos Rojo remains a doubt. While, Luke Shaw is the only long term absentee
for the Red Devils.
