Arsenal have received a boost ahead of their Europa League clash with Bodo/Glimt on Thursday with Cedric Soares now back fit.
The Portuguese right-back missed Saturday’s north London derby win over Tottenham due to a knock but is scheduled to train with the group again this week.
Cedric’s return is a boost for Arsenal, who face a busy month with eight matches coming up across all competitions.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad throughout October and use a number of different players to cope with the physical demands of a hectic fixture list.
Cedric will hope to get minutes at right-back and he is an option there should Arteta look to rotate Ben White. Takehiro Tomiyasu could also play at right-back, although the Japan international can similarly operate in the centre of defence.
High-flying Arsenal are expected to make changes for Thursday’s game at home to Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt as they then take on Liverpool in a huge Premier League showdown at the Emirates just three days later.
