Arsenal, who started the season with a clean sheet, are away to rivals Manchester United in Sunday's (4) match. Before the match, there was good news that four injury-plagued players - Martyn Odegat, Lansdal, Sim Zingo and Binnwett - were captured staying with the team at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester, signaling that they are expected to come on as substitutes in the match.
Arsenal captain Odigat, Binwet and goalkeeper Lansdal were injured in the last match against Villa, while Sim Zhenko missed two consecutive league matches due to injury. Originally, their availability was up in the air for this away match against Manchester United. However, as the team checked into their hotel, a staff member accidentally posted a group photo of all four players online, confirming that they will all be traveling with the team.
Currently, Arsenal have only two injured players in their squad, Thomas Berdy and Eleni. Portuguese newcomer Fabio Vela is expected to make his debut if Odigat is out of form. While Binwet and Sim Zingo are expected to be replaced by Kenyo Tomoyasu and Kieran Tejani if they are unavailable.
