5 injured Arsenal players pictured back in training

Arsenal received an injury boost ahead of Saturday's match against Leeds United, with several sidelined players returning to training on Thursday. Defensive trio Ben White, Piero Hincapie, and Cristhian Mosquera were all involved in the session after dealing with recent injury issues. Youngsters Max Dowman and Marli Salmon were also present after both had previously withdrawn from England youth duties due to minor concerns.

Jurrien Timber also participated as he continues stepping up his involvement following caution during the international break. Manager Mikel Arteta faces a congested fixture schedule, with games against Leeds and Lille preceding continuous weekend and midweek matches until November. Clarity remains sought on other concerns including William Saliba, Ezri Konsa, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Christos Tzolis.
