Ben White is in contention to play against West Ham on Saturday in a major boost for Arsenal amid their injury woes.
The 27-year-old has been out of action since mid-November after undergoing knee surgery, returning to the Gunners' bench for their 2-0 victory over Leicester last weekend.
The full back is now ready to take the next step and return to action.
Mikel Arteta said: 'He's (White) ready to play. Whether to start or not is a decision we'll make tomorrow, but he's certainly available now to be part of the group.
