Arsenal will assess a number of injuries ahead of their Premier League clash at home to bottom club Norwich.
David Luiz (knee) was injured in the FA Cup win at Sheffield United but could be fit, while Mesut Ozil (back) and Lucas Torreira (ankle) also face tests - as does Cedric Soares (nose) who will be pushing to make his debut.
Pablo Mari (ankle), Bernd Leno, Gabriel Martinelli and Calum Chambers (all knee) are long-term absentees.
Arteta assessed Luiz's injury when he spoke to the press on Tuesday, saying: "We don’t know, he was in pain the other day when he had to leave the pitch.
"He’s not a player that normally does that so he was uncomfortable.
"We assessed him yesterday, he was a bit better but we don’t know. He had a scan too this morning to see how bad it is.
"He’s very willing, he wants to play, he’s always like that but we will have to see how he is."
On a possible debut for Cedric, he added: "[He's got a] a different quality to our other full-backs.
"He’s a very technical player, he’s probably the best in the final third, he can play in a four and a five that can help us."
Struggling Norwich will give fitness tests to Lukas Rupp (hip), Max Aarons (calf) and Adam Idah (quad) ahead of the game at the Emirates Stadium.
Timm Klose (suspension) and Moritz Leitner (hernia) will be absent, but Todd Cantwell is fit to play following a abductor issue.
Defensive trio Grant Hanley, Christoph Zimmermann and Sam Byram (all hamstring) will miss the rest of the season.
Arsenal provisional squad: Martinez, Macey, Bellerin, Soares, Sokratis, Luiz, Holding, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Tierney, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Torreira, Ceballos, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Ozil, Nelson, Pepe, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Nketiah.
