“I think that Zinchenko is close to returning to duty. Every day his condition improves. He's progressing really well. He was frankly unlucky with this injury, which he received at the beginning of the season, but knowing Alex, he will return very soon. At the same time, I still can’t say if Zinchenko will play this weekend, ”Arsenal’s official website quotes Arteta as saying.

We add that Zinchenko, due to a calf injury, which he received back in September, has already missed five Arsenal matches.
