Thomas Partey's Arsenal return date will become clearer by Tuesday evening.
The midfielder has been away at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) since early January, with his temporary parting gift to the Gunners being a man-of-the-match showing in the 2-1 loss against Manchester City.
It's still up for debate as to whether Mikel Arteta's side have actually missed Partey during his absence. In the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup third round, they most certainly did as wonderkid Charlie Patino had a senior Arsenal debut to forget.
