Badiashile and Chalobah have been training with the rest of the team as of late, so their returns can be expected soon.

Also, Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk, who both had minor injuries before the start of the national team’s international competition series, are getting ready to play against Arsenal. Palmer was taken off in the second half against Burnley because of moderate cramping, but he should be good to go in about a week.

Meanwhile, Christopher Nkunku returned to practice and demonstrated some light movement, indicating that he, too, had made a speedy recovery. Early in August, just before the start of the new season, he was injured and forced to sit out for about four months. If there are no further setbacks, captain Reece James will also be available to play against Arsenal.
