Arsenal are set to receive a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Bournemouth on the road this weekend.

The Gunners have had a minor blip with back-to-back defeats in the Carabao and FA Cups, but they are still in a healthy position in the league.

The club have a nine-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table, having played a game more than Pep Guardiola‘s side.

The onus is on the Gunners to keep up the pressure. Ahead of the Cherries game, they have received a timely boost on the injury front.

Saka and Timber did not travel for the Champions League clash at Sporting CP, but are expected to be fit to face the Cherries this weekend.

Bournemouth have picked up five draws on the bounce and won’t be an easy club to get past for the Gunners despite home advantage.

Alongside the duo, Eberechi Eze has an outside chance of making the squad. He has been nursing a calf injury in the last few weeks.
