Arsenal injury, suspension list, and return dates for West Ham: Latest on Gabriel and Piero Hincapie.

Arsenal’s injury updates for the West Ham match raise concerns about Gabriel as Mikel Arteta provides a dual update.

Arsenal is now concentrating on their upcoming match against West Ham United this weekend following their Champions League victory over Olympiacos.

The Gunners are looking to break a home jinx in Saturday’s Premier League match, as they host London rivals West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s squad has suffered defeats in their last two home encounters against the Irons without finding the net, but they seem to have regained their winning momentum ahead of this all-London showdown.

Wednesday’s 2-0 victory in the Champions League against Olympiacos marked the third consecutive win for the Gunners, who narrowly defeated Newcastle United 2-1 in Premier League action last weekend.

In this report, Sports Mole compiles the latest injury and suspension updates for Arsenal ahead of West Ham’s visit, following their 1-1 draw with Everton in Nuno Espirito Santo’s debut as head coach on Monday.

Gabriel Magalhaes

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Expected return date: October 4 (vs. West Ham)

Gabriel Magalhaes, who scored the winning goal against Newcastle, picked up a knock during the second half of Wednesday’s match against Olympiacos, but Arteta is optimistic that he will be fit for this weekend’s derby.

Piero Hincapie

Status: Out

Type of injury: Groin

Expected return date: October 18 (vs. Fulham)

Piero Hincapie is anticipated to recover from a groin injury after the international break, but the match against West Ham will be too early for the Bayer Leverkusen loanee.

Noni Madueke

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Expected return date: November 23 (vs. Tottenham Hotspur)

Arsenal and Arteta have not officially revealed the extent of the knee injury that Noni Madueke sustained against Manchester City last month, but reports suggest that the winger could be sidelined for approximately eight weeks.

Kai Havertz

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: November 23 (vs. Tottenham Hotspur)

Kai Havertz was seen in the Emirates tunnel observing the match against Olympiacos as he progresses in his recovery from knee surgery, and a return before the end of November remains a possibility.

Type of injury: ACL

Possible return date: December 30 (vs. Aston Villa)

Gabriel Jesus was also spotted among Arsenal’s injured players during the midweek match, nearly nine months after suffering an ACL tear against Manchester United, and there is a slight chance he could be available for selection in December.
