Arsenal will look to extend their unbeaten run when they host Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.
After falling aa A 2-2 draw against reigning champions Manchester City last weekendthe Gunners sit fourth in the Premier League table.
And keen to get back to winning ways, Mikel Arteta will be determined to ensure his side can take all the points when they welcome winless Leicester City to the Emirates tomorrow.
The Spaniard, however, has some injury concerns.
Mikel Arteta reports on Arsenal injuries
Goalkeeper David Raya was a doubt for this weekend’s game after the 29-year-old picked up a minor knock to his thigh against Manchester City last time out.
And speaking to reporters ahead of tomorrow’s game in London, Arteta, when asked about the availability of his goalkeeper, as quoted talkSPORTsaid: “We have to wait. We have to wait 24 hours to see it.
“There is no risk, it’s about whether a player is fit, and whether he can contribute or not.
“When we have that clarity for Leicester, we will make that decision tomorrow.”
Defenders Jurrien Timber and Ben White also carry knocks, but Arteta is confident the pair will be ready to face Steve Cooper’s Foxes.
“Jurrien was able to take part in training today, so I hope he will be ready.” he said
To White, the Arsenal boss added: “I have hope too.”
Mikel Merino is also set to return
On the other hand, Arteta has confirmed that summer signing Mikel Merino, who has not yet participated after a shoulder fracture in one of his first training sessions since joining from Real Sociedad, has resumed the ‘partial training’.
“He did a partial workout today and he looks good” he said
“It’s just a matter of healing that bone and seeing when it’s ready for contact.”
Arsenal vs. Leicester City is scheduled to kick off at 12.30pm (UK time) but is not due to be broadcast live in the UK.
