Adding of the Brazil central defender who celebrated his 28th birthday on Friday, Arteta confirmed: "He is not too far [from returning].”

Arteta also provided an injury update on Ben White, who limped out of last weekend's 2-1 victory over Wolves at the Emirates, saying: “He’s out [for Everton]“He’s evolving well. Not a major injury but it'll keep him out for a few games.”

Arsenal boss Arteta also spoke about Kai Havertz: “He is progressing well and quite fast.

“We are really positive if everything continues like that in the next training sessions, he is going to be with us soon.”
