Arsenal injury news round up;
Saliba:
Saliba has recently returned to partial running and his recovery from his back fracture is progressing well and according to the initial schedule.
He is expected to return back to action in December despite rumours of a November return.
Ben White:
Arteta confirmed before the international break that Ben White's thigh injury is not a serious one.
He is expected to return on October 10 against Leeds United.
Mosquera;
Mosquera returned to training last week using his former club Valencia training facility.
He is expected to return back to action on October 10 when Arsenal will be playing Leeds United.
Declan Rice:
Rice is expected back to action against Leeds United on October 10.
Kai Havertz:
Germany has sent back Kai Havertz to Arsenal for proper medical care due to the hamstring injury he sustained while on national team duty with Germany.
Initial prognosis indicates that Havertz will be out for weeks rather than months as the injury is not considered a serious one.
He is not likely to return against Leeds United as Arsenal are expected to exercise caution.
Piero Hincapié:
Hincapié was withdrawn from the Ecuador national team squad due to a muscular issue believed to be in the thigh area. Arsenal is closely monitoring his condition and managing his training loads.
Potential return date: Sources close to the player indicate doubt over his participation against Leeds, as the club is working to gradually restore his fitness through an individualized training program.
Martin Ødegaard:
Ødegaard's issue appears to be not serious.
Arsenal remains in regular contact with the Norway national team's medical staff, meaning there is full transparency between the two parties.
Potential return date: Against Leeds United.
Ezri Konsa
Konsa suffered an unspecified physical issue
There is hope that Konsa will be fit to feature on Saturday against Croatia in Rijeka, but at this time there are no serious concerns regarding his condition.
Potential return date: Against Leeds United.
