Mikel Arteta and Arsenal's medical staff will meet on Thursday to decide when Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will return from injury.

Martinelli and Saka are both currently on the sidelines with hamstring injuries, while Arsenal are also without Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz.

Jesus and Havertz are set to miss the rest of the season and Arteta confirmed on Wednesday night that Martinelli and Saka will not return before the international break in March.

The duo will miss both legs of Arsenal's Champions League last-16 tie against PSV Eindhoven, as well as Premier League games against Chelsea and Manchester United.

Arteta hopes Martinelli and Saka can return after the international break when Arsenal host Fulham on 1 April.

The Gunners are not involved in the FA Cup, which means they have a free weekend to get their players back from international duty before a midweek trip to Fulham.

“Let’s see how they evolve in the next few weeks to make the right steps and then after that, they’ve been out for a long, long time, so we’re going to have to integrate them as well gradually,” said Arteta. “They are evolving well but they’re still a bit far.
