Arsenal are back in Premier League action on Saturday when Mikel Arteta's side travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United
Mikel Arteta has issued an Arsenal fitness update ahead of his side's trip to Elland Road to face Leeds.
The Gunners are looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League as they have not collected three points since January 3 when they ran out 3-2 winners at Bournemouth.
The Spaniard confirmed William Saliba and Jurrien Timber are expected to be fit for the trip to Yorkshire after missing the Champions League triumph over FC Kairat Almaty.
Arteta said: "Yeah they are okay. They have played a lot of minutes, and were carrying a few niggles and it was a great opportunity."
The Arsenal head coach also added that there were no fresh injury concerns: "No, we didn't have any surprises there [from Wednesday]."

Additionally, Kai Havertz appears to have come through unscathed after he made his first Arsenal start since last February.
Arteta explained: "Yeah he started the other day, it's been a long period. Now we need to manage his load. There was no reaction to that [his knee] and now we hope he can help the team."
