Arsenal travel across the capital on Wednesday evening to face West Ham in an eagerly-awaited Carabao Cup fourth-round clash.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has a few injury concerns to deal with - as well as the question of whether to field Declan Rice in a possible return to his former club. 

The England international has been a revelation since making his record-breaking £105million switch to the Emirates from the London Stadium over the summer - but with games coming thick and fast, Arteta faces a selection dilemma.

Not to mention the injury concerns of players who missed Saturday's 5-0 thrashing of sorry Sheffield United. 

Read on for latest updates on the trio of injured Gunners. 

Martin Odegaard

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard was omitted from the starting XI for the 5-0 rout of a poor Sheffield United side at the Emirates at the weekend.

With games coming thick and fast, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta opted for the Norwegian to have a rest from the bench on Saturday.

Arteta revealed after the game that his on-field leader and creative midfielder had a slight knock, after suffering a minor hip issue, but it is understood the problems is not a serious one.

Injury: Hip

Expected return date: West Ham (H) - Wednesday, November 1

Arteta said: "Martin has been as well carrying a little thing that wasn't very comfortable in the games.

"So we have players with enormous quality and we have to choose and we believe that it was the right day to do so.

Gabriel Jesus

Gabriel Jesus put in one of his best Arsenal performances during the 2-1 victory in Andalusia against Sevilla last week, so it was such a shame the Brazil attacker was forced off with a hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old scored the winner after providing a stunning assist for fellow countryman Gabi Martinelli to run onto to and slot home.

However, the former City striker pulled up clutching his hamstring on 81 minutes, before requesting to come off. 

Jesus was sent for a scan on his hamstring on Thursday and Arteta confirmed the forward would miss a 'few weeks.'

Injury: Hamstring

Expected return date: N/A 

Arteta said: "The scans show that there is a muscle injury. We might miss him for a few weeks again... With Gabi I cannot give you any time frame because he always surprises us. He felt something there, it was a really awkward action.

"It’s true that he had quite a lot of load in those games playing with the national team and with us which he hasn’t done in a long, long time. That’s really bad news for us."

Thomas Partey

Partey sustained a thigh injury in training on last Monday that prevented him from travelling to Seville.

Arteta confirmed the midfielder would miss a few weeks with a muscle issue.

Injury: Thigh

Expected return date: N/A

Arteta said: "He’s got a muscle injury and we expect him to be out for a few weeks. We don’t know the extent of it still, he has more tests today. He got that injury in training, with the last kick of the ball. Very unfortunate."
