To begin with the good news, Reiss Nelson has returned to training with Arsenal, and Goal report that there’s a chance the winger could be involved against Everton.

If not, he’s expected to be back against Brentford next week.

Thomas Partey had a scan on a rib issue, but it showed nothing serious and he’s back in full training. Even so, Mikel Arteta called the midfielder a “doubt” for the Everton clash.

That opens up the possibility of a debut for new signing Jorginho, but nothing is confirmed yet.

Arteta did rule Emile Smith Rowe out of the Everton clash, but Goal claim the hope is that he’ll be fit for Brentford and the absence is precautionary.

There was a positive update on Gabriel Jesus this week, as he returned to the training pitches after eight weeks out, but he’s not expected to be playing competitive matches until March.

Finally, the bad news on Mohamed Elneny is that he’s expected to be out for the season following knee surgery.

To sum up, there’s only one new injury doubt since the Manchester City game, with the potential for a few players to return to action over the next week.

With the addition of three new signings to the squad, Arsenal look to be in a better position leaving the January window than they were going into it. But there’s still a lot of uncertainty about exactly which players will be ready this weekend.
