Mikel Arteta reveals three players who are at risk of missing Arsenal's trip to Brentford

Mikel Arteta has provided updates on Emile Smith-Rowe, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White fitness.

The Gunners will travel to Brentford community stadium this weekend to face Thomas Frank side.

Arsenal will be hoping to bounce back from their disappointing result against Manchester United weeks ago.

The Red Devils handed Arsenal their first defeat in the league after winning five games on the row.

Although, Mikel Arteta side are currently sitting on top of the table with 12 points.

Speaking to the media ahead of the game, admitted some players will have to face late fitness test tomorrow.

"Whoever will have to be ruled out, that is going to be tomorrow. We have those 24 hours to see," he said.

Emile Smith-Rowe has been struggling with groin problem this season.

The English international finished last season with 10 goals for Arsenal.

Smith-Rowe came into the game against Manchester United from the bench, where he got injured during the post warm up.

The English footballer remains a doubt for the next match, after experiencing some discomfort in the groin area.

25 years old full back is one of the players struggling with his fitness. 

Oleksandr Zinchenko, who joined Arsenal from Manchester City this summer transfer window has been a great addition into the team. 

The Ukraine full back was injured during training in the week. He suffered a calf injury which could keep him out for next three weeks. Arteta has not yet ruled him out for this weekend: "Again, we have to wait until tomorrow to make that decision.

Finally, Mikel Arteta has addressed speculation that Ben White's fitness is the reason why he was left out of Gareth Southgate's England squad. 

There are ongoing suggestions that Ben White is carrying an injury which forced him out of Three Lions squad. 

The former Brighton Hove Albion defender has been playing as a wing back from the right since the arrival of William Saliba this season.
