The Gunners fell to a 1-0 loss to Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 affair on Wednesday evening, where an injury-time wonder goal from Galeno gave the Portuguese side the lead at half time in the tie.
However, Mikel Arteta's men have prevailed in their last five Premier League contests, most recently destroying Burnley 5-0 last weekend to leapfrog Manchester City into second place in the table, although they have now been bumped back down to third by the champions.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Newcastle, who left it late to hold Bournemouth to a 2-2 draw in their last top-flight contest.
Oleksandr Zinchenko
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: February 24 (vs. Newcastle)
Oleksandr Zinchenko missed a third successive match on Wednesday with the calf issue he sustained against Liverpool on February 4, and while there have been no updates on his condition, it can be assumed that he remains a major doubt for Saturday's game.
Gabriel Jesus
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: February 24 (vs. Newcastle)
Similarly, Gabriel Jesus has now spent a couple of weeks on the sidelines with the knee problem which was initially only expected to keep him out for "days", and having failed to train ahead of the trip to Porto, he is also unlikely to make the cut this weekend.
Takehiro Tomiyasu
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: February 24 (vs. Newcastle)
Takehiro Tomiyasu is in the exact same boat, having failed to recover from the knock he brought home from the Asian Cup, and it is unclear if he has a chance of featuring against the Magpies.
Jurrien Timber
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
Jurrien Timber has now spent over six months recuperating from the ACL injury he sustained on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, and while he is recovering well, a comeback remains a while off yet.
Thomas Partey
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: February 24 (vs. Newcastle)
Thomas Partey was back in full training before the trip to Porto after four months out with a thigh problem, but he failed to board the plane to Portugal, and a question mark is therefore hanging over his head for the weekend.
ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST
Arsenal have no suspended players for this match.
