Alexandre Lacazette resumed training on Wednesday because of his groin problem and should face Tottenham this weekend.
The French striker missed Sunday's win at Bournemouth after being injured 24 hours earlier during a session at London Colney.
Unai Emery said after the match at Vitality Stadium that he did not believe the injury was serious and that the Arsenal head coach was now right.
It is not expected that Lacazette will travel to Ukraine for the European League match against FC Vorskla on Thursday night, but should be able to play against the Spurs in the Emirates on Sunday.
Stephan Lichtsteiner has also resumed full training following his hamstring injury, while Laurent Koscielny continues to be evaluated after playing his first 45 minutes of play in six months, Monday night, for children under 23 years old.
Nacho Monreal is certainly out of the Spurs game, however, the Spanish left-back should not return to a full training for two weeks due to a persistent hamstring problem.
Meanwhile, Arsenal continues to dialogue with UEFA after the rearranged disagreement with FC Vorskla on Thursday night.
The draw in the Europa League group stage is plunged into chaos after UEFA announced Tuesday that the match had been transferred from Poltava to Kiev.
The decision was made following the introduction by President Petro Poroshenko of martial law in parts of Ukraine due to the increased political tension in the county with neighboring Russia.
The UEFA Emergency Committee today decided to transfer the match of the UEFA Europa League group stage between FC Vorskla Poltava and Arsenal FC, from Poltava, following the introduction of martial law in parts of Ukraine.
"The match will take place at Kiev's Olimpiyskiy stadium on Thursday, November 29 at 18:55 (CET).
"UEFA will continue to monitor and assess the security situation in Ukraine in the coming days before making any decision regarding the possible transfer of other matches. "
Although Poltava does not sit in any of the areas subject to martial law, the fact that Kharkiv was included has forced to rethink – because of the city's airport used by many roaming fans who are ready to go to the game.
