Mikel Arteta has been handed some injury boosts
It hasn't been the happiest of international breaks for Arsenal - who kicked it off with a defeat to Liverpool on home turf.
And after a quiet Transfer Deadline Day, all Gunners fans have been anticipating the return of the Premier League so Mikel Arteta's side can get back to winning ways.
Arteta has received a couple of injury boosts in the past couple of days - with a Brazilian duo not making an appearance and a star being snubbed by Thomas Tuchel.
The Gunners will also be buoyed by the emergence of the 'next Bukayo Saka' as Daily Star Sport rounds up all the latest Arsenal news...

There was no spot for Myles Lewis-Skelly during England's 5-0 win over Serbia on Tuesday evening.
Tuchel decided to exclude Lewis-Skelly from the 23-man squad just days after the Arsenal left-back played the full 90 minutes against Andorra.
Tuchel has 24 players in this current England camp, meaning one player must be left out for Tuesday night's game, leading to the 18-year-old not not featuring in Belgrade.
The 'next Bukayo Saka'
Sebastian Ferdinand of Arsenal warms up before the PL2 match between Arsenal U21 and Brighton & Hove Albion U21 at Meadow Park on August 29, 2025 in Borehamwood, England.

Arsenal's Hale End academy has proved to be a hotbed for talent over the past few years - and the latest star could be ready to burst onto the scene.
Sebastian Ferdinand, 19, signed for Arsenal when he was 13 and has gone from strength to strength since. Ferdinand has compared himself to Saka when speaking about his game.
"In terms of my game, I think of myself as a tricky winger who works hard in and out of possession and can contribute with goals and assists to help the team," he said.

Arsenal have been hampered by injuries already this season - but Mikel Arteta received an unexpected boost on Tuesday.
Brazil were beaten by Bolivia over the international break with the latter keeping their unbeaten home record in qualification alive - which is no surprise as their stadium is 4,088 metres above sea level.

Opposing players often need oxygen while Neymar once called the trip "inhuman". Thankfully, for the Gunners, neither Gabriel Magalhaes or Gabriel Martinelli made it off the subs bench for Brazil.
