- Listen now: Everything is starting! Can you really judge ineos after 12 months?
Ben White is in dispute to play against West Ham on Saturday in a great impulse for Arsenal in the midst of his injury problems.
The 27-year-old has been out of action since mid-November after undergoing knee surgery, returning to the Bank of the Gunners for his 2-0 victory over Leicester last weekend.
The full back is now ready to take the next step and return to action.
Mikel Arteta said: 'He is (white) ready to play. If you start or not a decision we will make tomorrow, but it is certainly available now to be part of the group. ''
Meanwhile, Arteta has asked Raheem Sterling to rediscover its form, saying 'we really need it' to help support the weakened arsenal front line.
Sterling has started only four games in the league so far this season, since it has been disappointed since signed the Chelsea loan on the day of the summer transfer deadline.

The full back has left since November and since then has undergone surgery after a knee injury.
It comes when the gunners fight with injuries to Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Hvertz and Gabriel Jesús.
Arteta added: 'Yes (it can have a great impact), and it has to have it because we really need it.
'I hope not (little confidence) because we try to give him as much as possible, but that is a question for him.
'But we are all behind him, we are the best for him and it will be really important and we need the best of himself.
“And we need players only with that mentality, be here to impact the team.”
