Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fitness update on two players ahead of Wednesday's Premier League meeting against Chelsea.
The Gunners have been in a poor run of form since the international break. They have lost three league games on the bounce.
They face a tough task of ending the run against the Blues. Ahead of the game, Arteta has provided a fitness update on two players.
Gunners captain Alexandre Lacazette missed the 1-0 loss to Southampton at the weekend after testing positive for coronavirus.
The Frenchman has returned to training ahead of the London derby. Arteta has said that he will be assessed before the game.
Meanwhile, Takehiro Tomiyasu could make his first league appearance since New Year's Day after overcoming a calf problem.
Arteta acknowledged that he is 'very close' to making a comeback, but did not confirm whether the right-back will be involved.
Similar to Lacazette, Tomiyasu may undergo a late fitness test. The Gunners desperately need to return to winning ways tomorrow.
