The Gunners host Norwich at the Emirates stadium on Wednesday. The game is expected to kick off at 6pm GMT.
During his press conference, the Maher hopes to have Mesut Özil and Matteo Guendouzi back in the squad.
Özil is yet to feature for Arsenal since the league restarted after three months of suspension due to coronavirus pandemic.
Meanwhile, Guendouzi has been axed from the squad following jis burst up with Neal Maupay in Arsenal 2-1 loss to Brighton Hove Albion.
Guendouzi appeared to have grabbed Maupay neck in a tussel after the game. It was reported that the French youngster bragged about his wages to Maupay.
On whether Guendouzi and Ozil still have a part to play in the remaining games:
I said that everybody that I have in the squad, my job is to get the maximum out of them and to try to help them and support them. And if they are willing, everybody is welcome.
On whether they are both willing:
I always hope that the players want to give their best.
on whether Guendouzi has made the most of opportunities at Arsenal...
I don't know. When Arsenal picked him to come here it's because they could obviously see the potential and the qualities that Matteo has. He's a really young player and he's still in development. When you are developing, the curve is not normally so much straightforward, you have to have some bumps and you have to adapt to it. Then in the process, you have to find the things you've done right and the things you've done wrong, like any other player.
on whether Ozil could've kicked on more...
The players want to play as well as possible, train as well as possible and then it's a tricky game. You have momentum, you have your team-mates to help you as well and you need confidence. It's not just one factor but I never doubt that the players want to do their best.
