The latest on Arsenal’s injured players and who may or may not be available for the Premier League match at home to Manchester City on 2 April.
Santi Cazorla (ankle)
Cazorla is still expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season and there’s been no other news regarding his ankle injury.
Petr Cech (calf)
The goalkeeper was sidelined during Arsenal’s loss away to West Brom and is due back in four weeks from the date he sustained the calf injury.
This should be 17 April – the Middlesbrough game.
Kieran Gibbs (knock)
The left-back took a knock in the FA Cup match against Lincoln at the Emirates and was left out of the West Brom squad.
He’ll probably be available for the match against Manchester City on Sunday.
Laurent Koscielny (head)
Kos clashed heads with Thiago during France’s 2-0 loss to Spain and spent the rest of the match in bandage. However, he should be fine to face City.

Lucas Perez (thigh)
The forward still has no return date after picking up a thigh injury in training ahead of Arsenal’s trip to West Brom.
Mesut Ozil (back)
Ozil featured for Germany against Azerbaijan this week after missing out on the West Brom trip because of a thigh/calf injury and then the friendly against England with a back problem. He should therefore be fine for City.
