Arsenal have been handed a boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Everton on the road on Saturday night.
The Gunners returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend. They were far from their best, but got over the line with the help of two own goals.
Martin Zubimendi played the full 90 minutes against the Midlands outfit, but there were fears over his condition after he was missing in a recent training session for the north London giants.
When asked about his condition, the manager clarified that the midfielder was left out due to load management and should be available for selection.
He told reporters: “There was a lot of management for a few players who played a lot of minutes later, so that’s probably the reason why.”
Arsenal are just two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and must beat the Toffees to keep hold of their slender advantage.
Pep Guardiola‘s side are huge favourites to beat West Ham at home.
