Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has offered an injury return timeline for Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The left-back has been absent in recent matches, since an injury he sustained in the North London Derby win over Tottenham.

Arteta does not believe Zinchenko will play this week, but he will be ready before the World Cup break.

He said: "No I don't think so but he had a recurring injury in his calf."

Asked if he would be back before the World Cup, Arteta replied: “Yes."

The Gunners take on PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League on Thursday, a game that was postponed from earlier this season.
