Arsenal have been handed a huge boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium next weekend.
The Gunners are presently four points ahead of second-placed Manchester City in the standings, and will be aiming to extend the lead during the festive schedule.
They are due to host Spurs in the Premier League on November 23 and ahead of the game, the club have received some good news on the injury front.
Riccardo Calafiori recently returned from Italy duty with a hip issue, but the Italy international is expected to be fit for the north London derby.
While Calafiori will resume training pretty soon, the club are expected to be without the services of Gabriel Magalhaes for the next few weeks.
The Brazilian sustained a groin injury in an international friendly against Senegal and an exact timescale for his recovery will be published soon.
Arsenal are unbeaten in the last six outings against Spurs.
