Arsenal: Eddie Nketiah a doubt for Bournemouth match with ankle issue

Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah is a doubt for the club's Premier League match against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Nketiah, 23, has an ankle issue that while not thought to be serious could lead to him missing out this weekend.

The Englishman has scored four league goals in 23 appearances this season, helping Arsenal to top the table.

"We are assessing him and it is a bit uncertain what is going to happen. He is positive so hopefully he will be fine," manager Mikel Arteta said.

Nketiah has started Arsenal's last two matches on the bench with January signing Leandro Trossard leading the line, alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in attack.
