Mikel Arteta reveals he PLAYED in Arsenal's training matches this week amid low squad numbers claiming he 'did a few slide tackles but didn't injure anyone', as the Spaniard ranks his side's start to the Premier League season

Mikel Arteta has unveiled that he took part in several of Arsenal's training games this week ahead of their Premier League clash against Everton.

The north London outfit are set to re-start their league campaign at Goodison Park earlier today, after having claimed three wins from four this season with the side currently sitting fifth in the table five points behind Manchester City at the top.

While the 41-year-old delivered some positive news over the fitness of Bukayo Saka last week, the squad have suffered several injury blows already this season, with Mohamed Elneny, Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey all currently sidelined.
