Bournemouth
While Arsenal have no fewer than 11 concerns at present, Bournemouth could come into the weekend with a clean bill of health, as Iraola said before the international break that he was optimistic of Tyler Adams's chances of returning from a back injury against the Gunners.
With almost all of his troops available, Iraola may ponder a change or two after their King Power horror show, most likely in attack after Justin Kluivert was withdrawn at half time in the Leicester loss.
Luis Sinisterra and Dango Ouattara are both alternatives to the Dutchman in attack - the former was a bright spark after his introduction against the Foxes - but Evanilson should still keep Enes Unal at bay in the number nine spot.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Sinisterra; Evanilson
Arsenal
Arteta's pleas for an injury-free international break fell on deaf ears, as Saka sustained a hamstring issue on England duty and Martinelli damaged his calf while representing Brazil, although the former is apparently optimistic about his chances of being fit for the weekend.
The same goes for Thomas Partey and Havertz, despite their withdrawals from their national team camps, but captain Martin Odegaard (ankle) and defender Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are reported to have suffered setbacks and will be sidelined for at least another month.
Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Ben White (groin) and Jurrien Timber (unspecified) are also in the infirmary, while second-choice goalkeeper Neto cannot face his parent club, so 16-year-old Jack Porter could act as David Raya's deputy this weekend due to Tommy Setford's own injury.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
Prediction: Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
