Arsenal have been handed a big injury boost with midfielder Thomas Partey back in full training this week.
The Ghana international sustained a fresh thigh injury in training last month, and he has subsequently missed four games for the club.
It was anticipated that he could be available before the international break, and that appears likely to happen, according to football.london.
The midfielder has returned to full training alongside his teammates, and he is on course to make the matchday squad against Brentford.
In the absence of Partey, Albert Sambi Lokonga has recently featured in holding midfield, but the Belgian has been far from consistent.
It won't be a surprise if Partey starts against the Bees. The Gunners will want to maintain their top spot in the league before the internationals.
After winning five league games on the bounce, Arsenal were beaten 3-1 by United earlier this month. They were outclassed on the counter-attack.
It could be another tricky encounter against the Bees.
