Arsenal vs Brighton: William Saliba ruled out but Zinchenko set for late fitness test... Mikel Arteta gives injury update ahead of tricky home game against Seagulls

William Saliba may once again miss Sunday's match between Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion, according to Mikel Arteta. 

The Frenchman has been out with a back issue since the middle of March, and he won't be ready for the Seagulls' visit this time around.

The Arsenal fans remain hopeful that Saliba will feature for their team with two kids games left to play. 

However, he is still holding out hope that Oleksandr Zinchenko will play for the Gunners.

The Ukrainian international is reportedly having trouble recovering from a leg injury he suffered last week against Newcastle. 

In the second half of our victory against Newcastle United last Saturday, Alex was removed, and his condition is still being monitored.

In the event that Alex is unable to play, a defensive lineup change may provide Kieran Tierney with a chance to shine after taking Alex's place at St. James' Park.
