Mesut Ozil could make his first appearance of the season for Arsenal when they travel to Liverpool on Saturday.
The Gunners head to Anfield with Ozil available again after he was given time off due to security threats against himself and team-mate Sead Kolasinac.
“He needs to be fit. He is training normally with the team,” head coach Unai Emery said.
“That is the first way to achieve that, and after that he can help us with his capacity. We will make a final decision today.”

Club-record signing Nicolas Pepe is pushing to make his full debut following two substitute appearances but Konstantinos Mavropanos and Kieran Tierney (both groin) and Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding (both knee) are absent.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and midfielder Naby Keita are both still a few weeks away from fitness ahead of the visit of the Gunners.
Alisson is off his crutches after a calf injury but will not be ready until after the international break.
Keita is also looking at further time on the sidelines as he recovers from a muscle strain.
