Arsenal have confirmed that Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Mesut Ozil will all face late fitness tests ahead of Saturday’s meeting with Everton.
Releasing their latest updates from the medical department, the Gunners revealed that all three players will be assessed ahead of the trip to Merseyside.
Granit Xhaka is also back and available for selection after previously missing the game against Manchester City.
However, Dani Ceballos, Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney are all long-term absentees and will continue to watch on from the sidelines.

Bellerin and Holding will be two huge returns for Arsenal, as the Gunners look to find some consistency at the back.
It’ll be one area that Arteta will be desperate to improve as quickly as possible and having everyone fully fit at the back will be a timely boost for the new Arsenal boss.
It remains to be seen if any of three players will come straight back into the starting XI, but with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Calum Chambers both struggling against Manchester City last time out, it wouldn’t come as a huge surprise to see either of the two start.
