Arsenal are set to face Norwich City on Saturday, September 11, as Premier League resumes after the international break.
Ahead of the match head coach Mikel Arteta has talked to the press and provided the latest injury updates.
"We haven't trained yet so we're still waiting for a few players back," said Arteta. "As far as I know, almost everybody will be available."
On
Sead Kolasinac:
"Again, they will assess him this afternoon and see if he's fit or not. He's one of the doubts we have."
On
Granit Xhaka situation:
"He's doing well. He's still in his country. He needs to stay there until Saturday, I believe. As soon as he's okay to travel he will be here with us."
On
Ben White and Gabriel:
"They are one of the options. Obviously they've both been signed since I've been here because they have the profile and qualities that we've been looking for.
"Now they have to establish a relationship, that cohesion in the backline is really important. They've never played together yet but they will do."
On
Emile Smith Rowe illness:
"He's carrying an illness. He's not been feeling good and could not stay there. The England national team was really positive about letting him go because everybody could see that he wasn't available.
"Let's see how he is in the next couple of days."
