Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has confirmed that Riccardo Calafiori and Ethan Nwaneri are back in training. The two players were spotted in training with the rest of the squad, ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League clash against Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates.

All of Saliba, Calafiori and Nwaneri watched on helplessly as the Gunners blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Aston Villa in Saturday's Premier League clash, leaving them six points adrift of Liverpool at the top of the table having played a game more than the Reds.

Nwaneri’s return is timely given Arsenal are light on options in attack. The 17-year-old scored in back-to-back games before his injury, emerging as an option on the right flank in the absence of Bukayo Saka. “It was a big setback because he (Nwaneri) was getting some consistency and more minutes,” said Arteta.
