Unai Emery is '100 per cent' confident Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are mentally ready to play again and will make a call on their involvement against Burnley after training on Friday.
Arsenal were forced to leave the duo out of their season-opening win against Newcastle last weekend due to 'further security incidents' following the frightening attempted gang-related carjacking involving the pair last month.
Both players were able to return to training this week, though Ozil missed Wednesday's sessions due to illness. He looked to be back on Thursday, but was driven from training, hidden away in the back of a car with tinted windows afterwards.

Emery insists his first concern is about Ozil and Kolasinac as people before players after the traumatic period they have been through.
He will assess them both over the next 48 hours before deciding whether they can start Arsenal's first home game of the season but is confident they will be ready if needed.
He said: 'Yes [I'm] 100 per cent [confident]. One hundred per cent with them. Their mentality, their focus is with us, for training and matches.
'I want to help them to live with normality with us, training, thinking and focusing on each training and each match.

Emery says his first concern is with the pair as people before players after their incidents
'They came back training with us the first day on Tuesday. They had the day off but came to start training with us.
'Ozil was a little sick. He didn't train yesterday but today he is getting better.
'But each training session gives us good information and different options with them, also for us to decide whether to take the option that they can play on Saturday the first 11.
Two men were arrested outside Ozil's house last week, prompting more concerns for them
'For us first it is like a person, after like a player but we will wait for tomorrow the last training.
'If they are training consistently each day with normal work, each training I am going to decide and achieve the best solution in each moment. It is positive they are with us now.
'When they are training consistently every day it is good news for us because we can chose them to help us and the first match is Saturday.'
