Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says he is "trying to get fit" ahead of Arsenal's trip to Bournemouth in the Premier League.
Arsenal have something of an attacking injury crisis with Danny Welbeck sidelined long-term with a broken ankle that required surgery.
Neither Aubameyang nor strike partner Alexandre Lacazette featured for their countries during the international break due to injury.
Lacazette, who did not go to the World Cup, was called up by France but could not take his place in the squad due to a knock.
But the Gabon forward has assured supporters he is doing everything he can to be available to Unai Emery for Sunday's game at Vitality Stadium.
