Mikel Arteta’s side will be in desperate need of a win – or even a draw – when they resume league action on Saturday.

Arsenal have received a quadruple injury boost ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against Norwich City.

Arsenal have had a dismal start to the 2021-22 Premier League campaign owing to their poor form,  a coronavirus outbreak in the squad, and injuries to a number of players.

The London side sit at rock bottom of the league table after failing to pick up even a single point from their opening three games.

Lack of results has put Mikel Arteta under immense pressure, especially considering the fact his club were the highest spenders in the summer transfer market.

However, Arteta can expect things to get better as some of his players who were on the treatment table or diagnosed with coronavirus have now recovered.

A report released on Arsenal’s official website mentioned that midfielder Thomas Partey, defenders Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes, and forward Eddie Nketiah are all “now back in full training and available for selection” for the Norwich game on Saturday.

Partey picked up a knock during pre-season and hasn’t participated in any of Arsenal’s games so far this season.

Magalhaes is also yet to feature for Arsenal this season, having suffered a knee injury while on national duty for Brazil at the 2020 Olympics.

White, who joined the club only this summer on a £50 million transfer, tested positive for Covid-19 last month and was therefore forced to miss the crunch clash with Chelsea.

Nketiah, meanwhile, had been nursing an ankle problem he suffered in the pre-season clash with Chelsea.
