Arsenal are set to be without Oleksandr Zinchenko for this weekend’s Premier League showdown against Crystal Palace.
The Ukraine defender has been missing for the last two matches with a calf injury.
However, he flew with the rest of the Gunners’ team for a warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
Zinchenko worked on an individual rehabilitation programme throughout his time in the United Arab Emirates.
But according to the Evening Standard, Zinchenko is unlikely to be fit for their next league encounter.
Jakub Kiwior has started the previous two matches as left-back, although he is more comfortable as centre-back. And with Takehiro Tomiyasu in the Asia Cup to represent Japan, Mikel Arteta is low on choices at full-back.
