Mikel Arteta said there “might be” a chance that someone from his Arsenal injury list could play on Saturday.

Speaking at Friday’s press conference, it’ll either be Piero Hincapie (muscle), Riccardo Calafiori (muscle), Max Dowman (ankle) or Cristhian Mosquera (ankle).

“It might be. So, I need to meet now with the medical staff – we have a training session now – and see if somebody is available for the weekend. I cannot tell you because I don’t know.” – Mikel Arteta on whether there is a chance that any of his injured players could return in Gameweek 22

Given that the head coach mentioned only on Tuesday that Calafiori, Dowman and Mosquera were looking at “weeks” out, we’re assuming Hincapie is the one who is closest to a recovery. That will please the Ecuadorian’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners.

He did confirm that there were no fresh Arsenal injury concerns from the midweek EFL Cup win over Chelsea.

Meanwhile, Arteta was asked if he needs to think a few games in advance, with the schedule being so intense.

“Well, in certain things, yes, and especially looking at the opponent and the things we’re going to be able to train that we can replicate in those games. Sometimes, ideally we want to plan, ‘Ok for this game, we think this player could be better and the load’, and some other times it’s just impossible and you have to go game by game. We have more players back now, we have better options and that’s very helpful because obviously we’ve been giving game time to almost every player.” – Mikel Arteta
