Injury experts shares Arsenal news ahead of Premier League clash v Everton
Arsenal will be without Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny for their Premier League clash against Everton, according to injury expert, Ben Dinnery.
The Brazilian striker is back on grass after sustaining a knee injury at the World Cup but isn’t expected to return until the middle of March (Premier Injuries Website).
Elneny is also a long-term absentee from Mikel Arteta’s squad after undergoing knee surgery and has been “ruled out” by Dinnery.
Tough test
It’s amazing the difference a week can make in football.
Last Saturday there was a positive feeling around Goodison Park after the vital win over Leeds United. However, now the Toffees head to the league leaders needing a result after their defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday (25 February).
There will be a number of twists and turns between now and the end of the season, however, another positive result against Arteta’s side would be welcomed. They’ve been imperious at home and it will take a big defensive performance from Sean Dyche’s side if they wish to take anything back to the North West.
Sunday’s fixture against Nottingham Forest is looking like another huge match in Everton’s battle to avoid relegation. Forest themselves are only four points above the bottom three and have by no means played their way out of the relegation conversation.
Dyche also has a number of injury concerns, with Dinnery suggesting Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be out of Wednesday’s trip to North London. Everton are also sweating on the fitness of James Garner, with the midfielder’s chances of playing rated at “50 per cent”.
