Tomiyasu, Partey, Elneny: Arsenal injury and suspension latest ahead of Wolves clash

It has been a frustrating start to the new year for Arsenal, to say the least.

The Gunners are winless since Boxing Day and have subsequently been knocked out of the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, leaving them with just the Premier League to fight for during the remainder of the season.

Mikel Arteta's side will be desperate to finish in the top four and end their five-year UEFA Champions League hiatus and they currently sit two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played a game more.

After a lengthy break in action, the north Londoners will travel to Molineux Stadium to face Wolverhampton Wanderers next Thursday in a must-win league fixture.

Ahead of the clash against Bruno Lage's men, has roundup up all the latest injury and suspension news that Arteta will need to consider.

Japanese international Takehiro Tomiyasu has been struggling with a calf injury in recent weeks.

The versatile right-back first suffered the problem during the 4-1 win against Leeds United back in December but tried to play through the pain barrier during last month's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final

Arteta has since confirmed that he will be out for a few weeks, effectively ruling him out of the match against Wolves next week.

“Tomi had an injury and we didn’t have anybody to play in that position against Liverpool.

“He needs to recover and look after himself, to try and be available as quick as he can.

“He will be out for a few weeks.”
