Mikel Arteta will be sweating over the fitness of the likes of Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu ahead of this Saturday's North London Derby. football.london understands that Arsenal are hopeful that all three players will be available for the visit of Tottenham.
However, one player who is set to miss the clash after suffering an injury setback is Cedric Soares. The defender had only just returned from an injury issue that kept him out of the games against FC Zurich and Brentford.
football.london's Arsenal Writer Kaya Kaynak has reported that Cedric has picked up a fresh knock that will keep him out for up to two weeks. It's been a frustrating start to the season for the Portugal international who is yet to play a minute for the Gunners so far this campaign.
