Arsenal have confirmed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette will both be unavailable for Friday's Premier League showdown with Everton.
Lacazette bagged back-to-back braces against Sheffield United and Slavia Prague before sustaining a hamstring injury against Fulham, after which his replacement Eddie Nketiah netted an equaliser seven minutes into second-half injury time.
Meanwhile, Aubameyang spent time in hospital after contracting malaria on international duty with Gabon, although Mikel Arteta has affirmed that his captain is feeling better after being discharged.
However, the Gunners confirmed in their latest medical update that both Aubameyang and Lacazette will miss out this week, meaning that Nketiah is expected to lead the line again.
The update adds that Aubameyang will hope to return to light training by the end of the week, but Lacazette will continue to be assessed and remains a major doubt for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final with Villarreal on April 29.
Lacazette and Aubameyang are joined on the sidelines by David Luiz and Kieran Tierney, while Martin Odegaard remains doubtful for the Everton game with an ankle issue.
