Leicester City dropped points in its opening match against Brentford in a 2-2 draw. Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall were on the scoresheet for Leicester.
Arsenal injury updates
Arteta said he was pleased with how defender Kieran Tierney had recovered from a knee injury last term that needed surgery.
“He played 15-20 minutes (in the 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace) last weekend and did well,” Arteta said. “He looks in perfect condition now and ready to go.”
But winger Reiss Nelson faces a spell out after sustaining a muscle issue. “He felt something in training,” Arteta added. “The doctor came with bad news. Hopefully he will be back soon.”
