For the first time in 13 days, Arsenal are back in Premier League action. The Gunners take on Leeds at Emirates Stadium in a fixture that kicks off a crucial two months for Mikel Arteta and his players with ten games to play in their gripping title battle against Manchester City.
Over the international break, Arsenal were dealt some good and some bad injury news. On the positive side, Gabriel Jesus was handed an extra week to continue his recovery after a four-month absence, while Thomas Partey did not suffer any fresh injury worries, despite missing Ghana's AFCON qualifiers against Angola.
However, William Saliba continues to be bothered by a back problem that saw him subbed off in March during the Europa League defeat to Sporting CP. Mikel Arteta subsequently offered an update on his availability for the Leeds game after he was not spotted in open training on Thursday.
