Arsenal were hit with a number of injury concerns ahead of the North London Derby against Tottenham during the international break.
Mikel Arteta has provided an update on the likes of Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney prior to the clash against Spurs. The Spaniard offered a short response when asked about the fitness of his squad, copying Antonio Conte's tactic by not handing their north London rivals an advantage ahead of kick off.
Summer signing Gabriel Jesus is set to start his first North London Derby after missing out on a spot in Brazil's latest squad ahead of the 2022 World Cup at the expense of Spurs striker Richarlison. Emile Smith Rowe scored the opening goal in the same fixture last term but, after undergoing successful surgery to repair a long-term groin injury, is set to be out of action until 2023.
