Arteta not ruling out Saka and Odegaard for City
Mikel Arteta refused to rule out potential involvements for Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and William Saliba for Arsenal's crunch Premier League clash with Manchester City.
Saka has not featured for Arsenal since its 5-0 thrashing of Leeds United last month after sustaining a hamstring injury and withdrawing in the 53rd minute of that match.
Odegaard, meanwhile, has been substituted before half-time in all three of the Gunners' league fixtures, with the midfielder struggling with a shoulder injury.
The Norwegian was also not a part of Arsenal's squad for its win over Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA Champions League.
While Saliba was named as a part of the travelling party to Spain, he was an unused substitute at Estadio de San Mames, though Arteta confirmed he was pushing for a start, along with fellow defender Ben White against City.
"If there is a chance [they will play], it will be after tomorrow's session, because we haven't done anything yet, so we'll have more information tomorrow," Arteta said.
"Everything has been modified so far for him, and there are still a few things to clear up. Tomorrow, we'll have more information on whether they are part of the squad or not."
"Let's see," Arteta added on Saliba. "Obviously, he's been carrying a head injury, and he didn't really want to be available for the last match.
"He's really pushing it, so we will decide tomorrow what's the best start."
