Arsenal faced cause for concern over the international break with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, the two threats from opposite flanks, were both dealt with knocks while representing England and Brazil respectively. Arteta has now confirmed the duo will be training in the session on Friday and will be in contention to start on the weekend,\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a serious injury. He\u2019s (Saka) evolving really well. He\u2019s done a few things in the last two days. He wasn\u2019t fit enough to play with the national team the second game but we are hopeful. We have a training session this afternoon, he did some bits yesterday, so let\u2019s see if he can make it on time,\u201d said Arteta in the pre-game conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWell with Gabby he landed yesterday afternoon here so we have very short time to be with him. Yesterday he went outside to do a little bit and see how he\u2019s feeling. Again today will be another step to understand whether we want to take the risk if he\u2019s fit because I know what the player is going to say - \u2018I\u2019m going to be fit for sure\u2019,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kai Havertz pulled out of Germany\u2019s UEFA Nations League fixtures due to a knee injury and was not pictured in the training session on Thursday but Arteta has now confirmed he will be training later today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
