Mikel Arteta is hoping Arsenal will have Kieran Tierney and Mat Ryan available for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa.
The Gunners will be without goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who was sent off in the loss to Wolves on Tuesday.
"He had a muscular issue in the last few days and he hasn't been able to train," Arteta said of new signing Ryan. "Hopefully we can get him back in the next few days."
On Tierney, Arteta added: "He wasn't close at all [to play against Wolves].
"Hopefully in the next few days he will feel much better and will come in the team and help us in this moment when we have so many games."
