Mikel Arteta has delivered an injury update on Kai Havertz and Gabriel Magalhaes ahead of facing Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Kai returned to training <\/a>before our Carabao Cup victory over Crystal Palace after suffering a knee injury against Manchester United on the opening day of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Asked about our German’s fitness, Mikel said: “I think it will be a matter of days, if not weeks.<\/p>\n

“Let’s see in the next step how he responds to that. He’s a player that we missed a lot, a player that brings the team into a different dimension. So, I’m really happy to have him back very soon.”<\/p>\n

Gabi has been out since the November international break when he picked up an injury for Brazil against Senegal at Emirates Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ll have to wait and see,” Mikel said when asked about his availability for Brighton. “He hasn’t trained yet, he’s still doing his rehab. But hopefully as quickly as possible because we know the situation that we have in the back line.”<\/p>\n

A player who has recently returned from injury is Gabriel Jesus, who marked his 100th appearance in Arsenal colours with his first start since suffering a knee injury against Manchester United in January.<\/p>\n

Speaking about his comeback, Mikel said: “He’s very fit. We’ve been gradually increasing his minutes. But [against Crystal Palace] as long as he was OK, everybody was happy to let him go on. When we get into fatigue mode, we took him off, but we’re very happy.”<\/p>\n
