Arsenal injury list: Players out, potential return dates, predicted lineup for next game vs. Crystal Palace

Arsenal will walk out as Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years when they travel to Crystal Palace on the final day of the season.

Manchester City's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday ended Pep Guardiola's pursuit of a farewell Premier League title, as the Gunners retained an unassailable four-point lead.

The trip to Selhurst Park will now be pressure-free, a party occasion. But Mikel Arteta must balance the need to rest some players and keep others sharp ahead of next weekend's Champions League final showdown against Paris Saint-Germain.

On Thursday, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and David Raya all trained away from the main group, while Declan Rice and Gabriel are also tipped to be rested.

Arsenal injury list

Below is the latest injury picture for Arsenal, and estimated return dates for those who are sidelined.

Ben White

• Injury: Knee
• Expected return date: 2026/27 season

White has enjoyed a restorative couple of months, earning an England recall. However, his World Cup dreams are now in tatters after a medial knee ligament injury suffered during the first half of Arsenal's win at West Ham.

Jurrien Timber

• Injury: Knee
• Expected return: May 30 (vs. PSG)

Timber suffered an injury early in the eventual 2-0 victory over Everton on March 14. He went down in the opening 15 minutes but carried on as long as he could. Ultimately, he was forced off in the 37th minute, replaced by Cristhian Mosquera.

Arteta said that Timber's recovery would be "a matter of days," but the full-back has still not played since and missed the Netherlands' games in the March international break. Prior to the Palace match, Arteta did not rule Timber out of the Champions League final but said he is "a little bit behind Mikel [Merino] at the moment".

Mikel Merino

• Injury: Broken foot
• Expected return date: May 24 (vs. Crystal Palace)

It was reported in Spain late on February 1 that Merino could miss much of the rest of the season with a broken foot, and Arsenal confirmed the injury a day later. It meant a race to be ready for the Champions League final and Arteta was boosted by Merino being available for the trip to Palace.
