EPL: Arteta receives big boost ahead of Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has received a big boost ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace on Monday, with Oleksandr Zinchenko back to fitness.

Zinchenko has been struggling with a calf injury since the end of last season.

But the 26-year-old could start for the Gunners at Selhurst Park, according to the UK Mirror.

This would represent a major lift for Arsenal after losing Jurrien Timber to a cruciate knee ligament injury.

Zinchenko could start as an inverted left-back which is where he excelled last term.
