Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka remains a doubt for the Manchester City game, Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
Last Friday night's 3-3 draw at home to bottom-of-the-table Southampton marked the first time this season that the Switzerland international has failed to make a Premier League matchday squad as he missed out due to illness and was replaced in the starting line-up by Fabio Vieira.
With the Gunners set to train at London Colney this afternoon before heading off to Manchester, Arteta is hopeful that Xhaka will be able to take part in the session before deciding whether to hand the midfielder an immediate recall: "Granit has been out. Hopefully he’ll be able to train today but he’s still a doubt," the Spaniard said in the pre-match press conference." The rest are OK."
