Mikel Arteta has delivered an encouraging fitness assessment ahead of Arsenal's Community Shield meeting with Manchester City at the Millennium Stadium on Sunday, confirming that Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Martin Zubimendi are all expected to be available for selection.
The match arrives less than a month after the World Cup final, with Arsenal entering as Premier League champions set to face the FA Cup holders in the traditional season curtain raiser. Despite the condensed schedule, Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the condition of the returning players.
