Head coach of London Arsenal Mikel Arteta actually avoided answering the question about what are the chances of his team's defender Oleksandr Zinchenko to take part in today's match against Crystal Palace. Recall, all recently the Ukrainian has been recovering from injury.
"Zinchenko and Jesus? There are still a few people on this list, which we, unfortunately, could not return. Hopefully, they are much closer to returning to the field than they were before. Some of them are recovering faster than we expected. But individually I will not tell you how everyone is doing," Arteta said at the pre-match press conference.
Recall, due to injury Zinchenko missed the last two matches of Arsenal - with Fulham in the APL and with Liverpool in the FA Cup. The last time the footballer was on the field on 28 December.
