Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with title rivals Liverpool.

Searching for their first win over Liverpool in the 2023-24 season at the third attempt, Arsenal welcome their Premier League title rivals to the Emirates for Sunday's tantalising contest.

The Gunners were eliminated from the FA Cup by Jurgen Klopp's men earlier this month, prior to which they escaped from Anfield with a point in a pulsating 1-1 draw.

Mikel Arteta's men made it back-to-back wins at the City Ground on Tuesday night, though, eking out a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest thanks to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka's strikes.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Reds, who sit five points clear of the Gunners at the summit thanks to their 4-1 crushing of Chelsea in midweek.

Status: Out
Type of injury: International
Possible return date: Unknown

Takehiro Tomiyasu's Japan will clash with Iran in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup the day before Arsenal square off with Liverpool, so the right-back will not be involved in the Emirates encounter no matter how his country fare.


Mohamed Elneny

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: International
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Liverpool)

In contrast, Mohamed Elneny's Egypt were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations on penalties by DR Congo on Monday, so the experienced midfielder could be back in the squad for the visit of the Reds, although he will only be considered for a place on the bench.


Jurrien Timber

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Jurrien Timber's recovery from a devastating ACL injury remains on track, and he is undergoing individual ball work in training, but there are no guarantees that the Dutchman will be fit before the end of the season.


Thomas Partey

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Despite returning to full training before the win over Forest, Thomas Partey did not make the trip to the City Ground, having spent three months out with a thigh problem. Arteta has now revealed that the midfielder has been struck down by a setback, meaning that he will sit out the visit of the Reds as well.


Fabio Vieira

Status: Out
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: Unknown

Fabio Vieira is still on the mend from the groin operation he underwent at the end of November, and while he should not be confined to the treatment room for too much longer, he will not be at Arteta's disposal this weekend.
