Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya is a doubt for Sunday's massive clash against Manchester City at the Emirates.


Mikel Arteta has just spoken to the media ahead of the City encounter. While he continues to emphasize that the club is working hard and exploring every opportunity to strengthen the attack before Monday's Deadline Day, he also provided a concerning update on David Raya's availability.

When asked whether the Spaniard is in contention to return in goal this weekend, the boss said:

With David [Raya], we are still uncertain. We have another session tomorrow—another 48 hours—so let's wait and see. It's a muscular issue”.

If the 29-year-old, who has become a crucial part of Arsenal's solid defence, is unavailable, it would mean that backup keeper Neto will have to step in between the sticks.

Hopefully, it isn't too serious, and Raya will be able to play in what is a hugely important game for Arsenal's title hopes.
