Arsenal given huge North London Derby update as Antonio Conte makes Dejan Kulusevski decision

Tottenham and Arsenal fans were undoubtedly tuning in to Antonio Conte's pre-North London Derby press conference likely waiting for a significant update on the availability of Dejan Kulusevski. The Swede has been absent for the last three games with a fresh injury, but the hope of him playing on Sunday was given to Spurs after he appeared in training on Tuesday.

Despite returning to Hostpur Way this week, after only featuring in one Spurs game following the restart, there were concerns over whether or not the 22-year-old would be match-fit and therefore able to play a role in the latest North London Derby. However, Conte was able to give good news regarding the winger for Spurs fans which will certainly be seen as bad news for the Gunners.

Asked about the latest injury updates, the Italian said: "The news for sure the situation is going to improve, especially for Deki, for Kulusevski. He had training sessions in the last few days with us. He's going to be ready to play."
