Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed a number of his squad are still struggling with a sickness bug ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to Leicester.
Mikel Arteta has backed Eddie Nketiah to become a “top, top player” and is hoping that will be at Arsenal after he struck in the Carabao Cup fourth-round win over Leeds.

Mikel Arteta has no doubts Alexandre Lacazette will give his all to Arsenal as questions over his future remain, insisting “anything is possible” when it comes to the striker signing a new deal.
