The Gunners will return to action on 10th October.
Arsenal’s Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera, and Piero Hincapie have all resumed training, providing a timely reprieve for Mikel Arteta. The trio had all been out of action and were unavailable for international service.
However, they were all photographed practising at London Colney. Meanwhile, the rest of Arteta’s side prepare for the Premier League‘s return next weekend. On Saturday, October 10, Arsenal will host Leeds in an early kickoff.
The Gunners are looking to recover from their first setback of the season, a 3-0 loss at Brighton last month. With William Saliba sidelined due to a long-term injury, Arteta will be relieved to have defensive reinforcements.

Both White and Mosquera had hamstring problems, missing one and five games, respectively. Hincapie was on the bench against Brighton while recovering from a muscular ailment. But he is already back in training, according to footage posted by Arsenal.
However, the injury situation is not entirely positive. Christos Tzolis suffered an injury in Greece’s 2-2 draw at home against the Netherlands on Thursday. He is expected to miss three weeks.
Meanwhile, Saliba is said to be planning a return in November. Arteta recently emphasised the importance of patience, stating, “He is currently resting.”
“He had to do almost nothing, an aggravated injury, so it’s going to take some time to heal. We know that.”
The Arsenal boss will need to make the most of his squad depth over the next nine games. The defending Premier League winners will welcome Leeds to the Emirates before facing Lille in the Champions League three days later.
