Arsenal set for major injury boost for Spurs clash

Arsenal are set for a major injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium later this month.

The Gunners are presently four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the standings and will be aiming to extend the gap after the international break.

Arsenal have been hampered by plenty of injuries to forward players, but they could be set for a major boost when the season resumes in the near future.

Noni Madueke was almost fit after a knee injury, but manager Mikel Arteta decided against risking him for the league trip to Sunderland.

Alongside him, the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz could be fit to face Spurs as well.

However, the game may come too soon for Gabriel Jesus, who only recently returned to training after an extended lay-off of 11 months.

The Brazilian will need to work on his fitness and may have to wait until mid-December or so to make his comeback to first-team action.
