Logs 11 minutes in return Zinchenko played 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford. He registered one interception.

Impact Zinchenko didn't do much in his return to action after a five-game absence, but having him back is an excellent sign for Mikel Arteta. Given that Zinchenko has been Arsenal's starting left-back for most of the season, there's a chance he'll recover that starting role when the Gunners take on Porto on Tuesday in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

On bench in return Zinchenko (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Zinchenko is finally back with the team, ending a five-match absence due to a calf issue. The defender will now look to reclaim his spot from Jakub Kiwior on the left flank of the defense, as before the injury, Zinchencko had started in all but five matches he has been available for.

Out again Zinchenko (calf) is out for Monday's contest against Sheffield United.

Impact Zinchenko is still not ready for his return to play, now missing his fifth straight match due to a lingering calf issue. The defender was facing a late fitness test coming into the contest, so with that being said, he should be an option for Saturday's game against Brentford. If this is the case, he will most likely get the start, replacing Jukub Kiwior, who has held Zinchenko's role since he has been out.

Impact Zinchenko will be a game-time decision Monday, awaiting a late test on his calf issue to decide if he will end his four-match absence and face Sheffield. If the defender is ready to go, he will most likely be given the start, as he has started in 20 of the 27 matches he has been an option for this season. However, if the club decides to preserve the player and take his return cautiously, Takehiro Tomiyasu could also get the start with him possibly returning from an undisclosed issue, or Jakub Kiwior will get the start again, as he has started the past four matches while the other two have been out.

Remains sidelined ZInchenko (calf) is out for Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Nearing return Zinchenko (calf) is near a return, manager Mikel Arteta announced before Saturday's clash with Newcastle United. "Alex [Zinchenko] is not far at all,"

Impact Zinchenko is close to a return and could be back in some capacity as soon as Saturday's match. Zinchenko would need to make major strides during training Friday to get back on the pitch Saturday, but at least seems to have a chance. Jakub Kiwior has taken a larger role in the starting XI with Zinchenko on the sideline.

Not expected to return Zinchenko (calf) isn't expected to be an option for Wednesday's trip to Porto, according to Simon Collins of the Evening Standard.

Impact Zinchenko was reportedly nearing a return before a Saturday trip to Burnley but evidently wasn't able to make it back.

Jakub Kiwior will be in for another start at left-back as Zinchenko targets a return during a Saturday clash with Newcastle United.

Impact Zinchenko isn't back to full fitness, but he's going to be a true game-time call for Saturday's clash. If he can get back on the pitch he should compete for chances in the starting XI, after starting six of his last seven matches before this injury.

Hoping to play Saturday Zinchenko (calf) is working his way back to full fitness as he looks to return against Burnley on Saturday, per Arsenal Insider Charles Watts.

Impact Zinchenko has started each of his last six outings, in which he recorded one assist, four shots (one on target) and six crosses (two accurate), and figures to be in contention to reclaim the left-back spot in the starting XI. Jakub Kiwior figures to find himself relegated to a bench role if Zinchenko plays against Burnley.

Taken off with calf issue Zinchenko was taken off during Sunday's contest against Liverpool due to a calf issue, as manager Mikel Arteta announced after the match, "Alex, we don't know because he had some f...

Impact Zinchenko only made it to halftime against Liverpool before being taken off in the win, appearing to have picked up more discomfort in his calf, an injury he has been going back and forth with all season. The defender will plan for the injury to just be minor and only a feeling in the calf, as he is still yet to undergo full testing on his issue. With the player being a regular starter, everyone around the club will look for the left-back to be on the field this weekend against West Ham on Sunday, hoping to have a decent week of recovery and put his injury concerns behind him once again.

Registers assist Zinchenko registered one assist from four chances created and attempted four crosses (two accurate) in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Zinchenko's assist came when he took a quick throw-in to find Jesus in the box and he ranked joint first for chances created. However, he played Gonzalo Montiel onside for Nottingham's goal and was seen in animated discussion with manager Mikel Arteta after the full-time whistle. Despite this, he is unlikely to lose his starting place due to a lack of competition in the left-back position.

Makes XI for Crystal Palace match Zinchenko (calf) is starting in Saturday's game versus Crystal Palace.

Doubtful to face Palace Zinchenko (calf) can be considered doubtful to face Crystal Palace on Saturday, manager Mikel Arteta told media during his pre-match press conference Friday.

Impact Zinchenko didn't play against Liverpool in the FA Cup on Jan. 7. While Arteta didn't explicitly say anything regarding the availability of the left-back, he might be one of the few "touch-and-go" players the Spaniard mentioned in his presser. Zinchenko has started on the left side of the defense in 17 of his 21 appearances between the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League this season. If he can't go Saturday, then Jakub Kiwior might be deployed as left-back again.

Impact Zinchenko felt something in the warmups before the match against Fulham on Dec. 31, and while it wasn't a severe injury, it's unclear whether he'll be fit enough to recover and face Liverpool on Sunday. Knowing the team still has a packed schedule in the coming months, it wouldn't be surprising if Arsenal exercised caution in treating the injury to avoid aggravating it. If Zinchenko doesn't play Sunday, then Jakub Kiwior might start on the left side of the defense.

Zinchenko scores as Ukraine holds England to 1-1 draw in European Championship qualifying

Ukraine has ended England’s perfect record in 2024 European Championship qualifying after Oleksandr Zinchenko’s first-half goal helped secure a 1-1 draw

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • Associated Press

First start Sunday Zinchenko played 76 minutes and created one chance during Sunday's 3-1 win over Manchester United.

Impact Zinchenko got his first start after making a pair of appearances off the bench. The defender was back to his best, sending in a pair of crosses and creating a chance while winning his only tackle attempt. Zinchenko has never been a prime attacking full-back but he is likely to see big minutes once he is fully fit, likely on the other side of the international break.

Available as substitute ZInchenko (calf) was named to the match-day squad versus Crystal Palace on Monday.

Impact Even with Zinchenko fit, Takehiro Tomiyasu will feature in the left-back role against the Eagles. Given his extended absence, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see Zinchenko being eased back into action. Still, once up to full match-fitness, Zinchenko could push Tomiyasu for a spot in the starting XI.
