(Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remained tight-lipped regarding the availability of Ukraine international Oleksandr Zinchenko for Sunday's Premier League trip to Brentford despite the defender's national team (UAF) saying he had picked up a calf injury.

Zinchenko, 25, missed games against Fulham and Aston Villa due to a knee sprain but returned to feature in Arsenal's most recent fixtures against Manchester United in the league and FC Zurich in the Europa League.
