Mesut Ozil is back in training following the knee injury that kept him out of Arsenal's matches against Cologne and Chelsea last week.
The Germany international posted the fitness update on his Instagram account on Tuesday night, saying that he had suffered a minor inflammation of the knee.
It caused Ozil to miss Arsenal's 3-1 win over Cologne in the UEFA Europa League last Thursday and their goalless draw in the Premier League at Chelsea on Sunday.

Posting an image of himself on a sofa giving the thumbs up, Ozil wrote: 'Good news: I'm back training on the pitch. As you might have heard I'm suffering from a minor inflammation of my knee.
'Feeling better each day now and hope to be back playing very soon.'
The 28-year-old playmaker had featured in every minute of Arsenal's Premier League campaign until sustaining the problem last week.
He is unlikely to feature in Wednesday night's match against Doncaster Rovers in the Carabao Cup, but could come back into contention for Arsenal's home match with West Bromwich Albion on Monday, September 25.
