Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hopes Gabriel and Jurrien Timber can return to training next week. The pair were both absent from Arsenal’s pre-season friendly against AC Milan on Wednesday in Singapore. Gabriel and Timber were also not part of an opening training session on Friday ahead of Arsenal’s game with Newcastle on Sunday.

Bukayo Saka's early second-half goal served as Arsenal's breakthrough in 1-0 win over AC Milan at Singapore National Stadium in Kallang on Wednesday.
