Arsenal have had no look on the striker front over the last year, with Gabriel Jesus suffering two major injuries.
And after the 2-2 draw with Fulham, it appeared Eddie Nketiah was the latest forward to come down with an issue.
Nketiah has scored twice this season and looked to have secured a dramatic win on Saturday but as well as failing to pick up the win, concern was raised when reports emerged after the game that Nketiah picked up a knee injury but that is believed to be wide of the mark and he should be fit to face Manchester United.
In other good news for Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus returned to action last weekend, coming off the bench for a few minutes vs Fulham – suggesting he is ready to return to the XI this week vs Manchester United.
Finally, Jurrien Timber suffered an ACL injury on his Premier League debut and faces a race against time to feature again this season.
