Mikel Arteta held his latest press conference on Friday afternoon.
Arsenal will take on Fulham in a 3 pm kick off on Saturday as they look to make it three wins from three at the start of the season.
The Gunners have been far from their best in the early stages of the season but still beat Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace.
Ahead of facing an out-of-form Fulham, Mikel Arteta discussed a number of topics including the status of Gabriel Jesus.
Jesus missed the start of the campaign due to injury but has returned to training this week and when speaking about the Brazilian on Friday, Mikel Arteta said confirmed he is fit to face Fulham:
🗣️ “He’s ready to go.”
🗣️ “From the start?”
🗣️ “We’ll see.”
