Timber, Saka, Odegaard - latest Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of Wolves

Arsenal must respond to their miserable week this weekend when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux tomorrow evening in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta's men have gone from being in control of their title fate to falling behind Manchester City. They also saw their shot at a European semi-final abolished at Bayern Munich.

There isn't much time to dwell on the last week as the Gunners travel to the Midlands to take on Wolves. Despite the doom and gloom of the past week, victory would take them top, at least temporarily, with Liverpool not in action until Sunday.

Manchester City could be four points behind by the time they next play due to FA Cup semi-final commitments this weekend. It offers a chance for Arsenal to react.

They will have a nearly fully-fit squad for the match against Gary O'Neill's side at Molineux. Here, football.london has the latest from the Arsenal treatment room.

Jurrien Timber

The defender has been recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered back in August during the Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest. His only other appearance came in the Community Shield against Manchester City.
