Nigeria-eligible winger Bukayo Saka has received the medical green light ahead of Arsenal's Europa League matchday two fixture against Irish side Dundalk.
The one-cap England international had been rated doubtful for the game after playing through the pain barrier during the Gunners 1-0 defeat to Leicester City on Sunday and had to be substituted in the 65th minute.
Arsenal have issued a medical bulletin ahead of tomorrow's game and Saka is not among the players receiving treatment, paving the way for him to make his ninth appearance of the season across all competitions.
The Hale End Academy product took part in Arsenal's final training session at London Colney on Wednesday morning without any issues.
When asked at the pre-match press conference if Saka was available for selection, manager Mikel Arteta answered:"Bukayo picked up a knock but he's been training fine".
If Saka takes to the pitch against the Irish opponents at the Emirates Stadium, it would be his tenth game in the Europa League since he made his professional debut against Vorskla on November 29, 2018.
Arsenal's other opponents in Group B of the Europa League are Molde and Rapid Vienna.
