Arsenal will hope to have Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny available when they host Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday.
Koscielny is pushing for a start after recovering from an Achilles injury he sustained back in May. The Frenchman played for Arsenal's Under-23s earlier this week and earlier in November, Unai Emery offered positive news regarding the Frenchman’s return.
“He feels better in each training,” said Emery of Koscielny.
“He is close to being with us for competitive games. We are happy with him.
“He is with us every day and we are going to think after the international break how we continue working and playing games.”
Lacazette missed Sunday's win over Bournemouth but is expected to return for the visit of Spurs, while Nacho Monreal, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Danny Welbeck remain sidelined.
Welbeck faces a lengthy spell out, but Mavropanos and Monreal are expected back in December
