Arsenal bring the curtain down on a memorable Premier League campaign when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners’ title dreams crashed and burned in a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend, where Taiwo Awoniyi‘s goal secured survival for Steve Cooper‘s men.

Nevertheless, Mikel Arteta will soon lead Arsenal into the Champions League for the first time in seven years, as the North London club prepare to end the season as runners-up to Manchester City.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Julen Lopetegui‘s men, who occupy 13th place in the table heading into gameweek 38.

Type of injury: Knee

Mohamed Elneny has been seen running on the London Colney pitches as he steps up his recovery from a serious knee injury, but he will watch the Gunners’ final game of the season from the sidelines.

Arteta has always refused to rule William Saliba out for the season, but with the centre-back only progressing slowly in his recuperation from a back injury, he is virtually guaranteed to be absent for the visit of Wolves.
