🚨 BREAKING NEWS: After being sidelined for a long time with injury, an Arsenal star has finally returned to training and is set to feature against Slavia Prague tomorrow

After being sidelined for a long spell due to injury, one of Arsenal’s key players has finally returned to training—just in time for their Champions League face-off against Slavia Prague. It’s a timely lift for Mikel Arteta, who’s hunting another statement win in Europe to fuel Arsenal’s title and continental dreams.

 

The Gunners have been a machine lately—solid at the back, ruthless in front. Their Champions League form has been nothing short of sparkling, with three straight wins that include a dominant 4–0 demolition of Atletico Madrid, alongside clean sheets against Olympiacos and Athletic Bilbao.

 

Arteta’s system looks sharper than ever, and the Burnley game proved it. Arsenal cruised to a comfortable 2–0 victory, flexing their Premier League dominance while rotating just enough to keep legs fresh for European duty. It’s the kind of balance most teams dream of—defensive discipline meeting attacking flair.

 

Ahead of the trip to Prague, Arsenal’s injury list is slowly shrinking, though not without a few headaches. Viktor Gyokeres, who was brilliant before pulling up with a muscle issue against Burnley, remains a major doubt. His return would add bite to the frontline, but the club won’t rush him—Arteta’s learned that patience beats panic every time.

 

Gabriel Martinelli, still out with an unspecified muscular problem from the Crystal Palace game, remains a mystery case. His return date hasn’t been set, leaving fans to wonder when his fearless runs down the flank will light up the Emirates again.

 

Captain Martin Ødegaard continues his road to recovery from a knee injury. He’s been ruled out for a while, but the skipper is expected to make his comeback during the North London derby against Tottenham on November 23—a match he’ll be desperate not to miss.

 

Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke are walking similar roads—both sidelined with knee injuries, both eyeing that same date with Spurs for redemption. Their absence has tested Arteta’s squad depth, but Arsenal’s youth and versatility have kept the ship steady.

 

And then there’s Gabriel Jesus, still nursing his ACL problem. His return is penciled in for late December, a timeline that feels distant but promising. Meanwhile, Martin Zubimendi won’t feature in Prague due to suspension and a minor knock, though he’s expected back for the Sunderland game. Slowly but surely, Arsenal’s wounded warriors are returning to the fray, and the timing couldn’t be better.
