Arsenal receive good news ahead of their match against Southampton

Arsenal fans have received some good news ahead of their Friday night match against Southampton. Oleksandr Zinchenko, who missed Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with West Ham United on Sunday due to a slight groin problem, is ‘very much expected’ to be fit to face Southampton on Friday as per journalist Sam Dean.

This news comes as a relief for Arsenal, who are currently in a title race. The team is currently first on the Premier League table with 74 points after 31 games but are closely followed by second-placed Manchester City which has 70 points plus a game in hand.

Zinchenko’s return will be crucial for Arsenal as they look to maintain their lead at the top of the table. The Ukrainian left back has been an integral part of the team this season, providing both defensive and attacking support.

However, Manchester City is not far behind and has been gaining momentum in recent weeks. The team has won their last six games in all competitions and will be looking to close the gap on Arsenal.

Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, knows that his team cannot afford any slip-ups if they want to win the title this season. He has been working hard with his players to ensure that they remain focused and motivated for every game.

The return of Zinchenko will give Arteta more options in defence and allow him to rotate his squad if needed. This will be important as Arsenal faces a busy schedule over the next few weeks.

In conclusion, Arsenal fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Zinchenko is expected to be fit for their match against Southampton on Friday. The team will need all their players firing on all cylinders if they want to win the title this season and Zinchenko’s return will be a big boost for them.
