Mikel Arteta, ahead of Arsenal’s match against Brentford, indicated that Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are likely to be fit for the upcoming weekend. The Gunners had concerns over the early substitutions of both players in the previous 6-0 away victory against Sheffield United.

Arteta provided updates on the team news, stating, “Not much. We’ve got some players back last Monday, and then we had Martinelli and Bukayo with little issues. We’re pretty positive that hopefully, they can be part of that. But we’ll have to see.”

Regarding Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Jurrien Timber, Arteta didn’t offer specific updates. However, he did provide a positive update on Tomiyasu’s progress after the Sheffield United game, stating, “He’s very close. He’s already doing something on the grass, and hopefully, we’re going to have him very close with us.”

Arteta has been managing with minimal defensive depth, but the return of these players will provide additional options in the near future. Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures include Brentford on Saturday, followed by a midweek clash with FC Porto, and then a lengthy 19-day break including the international period before facing Manchester City on March 31.
