Arsenal injury list: Players out, potential return dates, predicted lineup for next game vs. Man United
Arsenal host Manchester United on Sunday with their season going from strength to strength.
A 3-1 win at Inter Milan this week secured their automatic passage to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. It also allowed Mikel Arteta to rotate his starting lineup ahead of this weekend’s game.
Here is how their injury list looks, when they can expect players to return, and what their predicted lineup looks like for their next game.

Arsenal injury list
Below is the latest injury picture for Arsenal, and estimated return dates for those who are sidelined.
Piero Hincapie
- Injury: Groin
- Expected return date: January 25 (vs. Man United)
Hincapie hobbled off during the draw with Liverpool on January 8 after appearing to hurt his left leg. Arteta later confirmed he had suffered a groin injury. He has a chance of returning against United.
Riccardo Calafiori
- Injury: Muscle (undisclosed)
- Expected return date: January 25 (vs. Man United)
Calafiori pulled out of the Brighton game during the warm-up. Arteta said the Italy defender “felt something very awkward” and he has not been involved since. Like Hincapie, there is a chance Calafiori could be fit to face United.
Max Dowman
- Injury: Ankle
- Expected return date: Early February
Shuttled back and forth between Arsenal’s first team and the U-21 side, Dowman picked up an ankle injury in the youth team’s victory over Manchester United in early December. Speaking on January 13, Arteta said Dowman was likely looking at a similar layoff to Mosquera.
