Mikel Arteta will be hoping to have a number of his Arsenal cohort back and ready ahead of the big North London Derby this weekend against Tottenham following a number of key players missing in recent weeks.
The Gunners had the likes of Martin Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Cedric Soares and Reiss Nelson absent for the most recent Brentford victory prior to the international break.
Fast forward to the end of the final international break before the FIFA Qatar World Cup, and Thomas Partey, Kieran Tierney, and a few others are facing a race against time to make themselves available for the early kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.
