Mikel Arteta has provided an important update on the progress of a number of key injured players, including Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Jorginho, ahead of Saturday's game against Bournemouth.
Brazil forward Jesus is edging back to fitness after injuring his knee in his country's World Cup game with Cameroon in Qatar, with the Gunners' boss confirming he is "not far" from a return to action.
Meanwhile, Nketiah and Jorginho were able to play at least some part in the 4-0 win over Everton in midweek, although both did so despite issues affecting them.
