Mikel Arteta has provided update on the fitness of Gabriel Martinelli ahead of Arsenal vs Tottenham game
The Gunners will face their north London rival this weekend in the Premier League.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the boss said: "With Gabi we are still assessing him, so let's see if he can make the game or not."
On the other hand, Mikel Arteta also confirmed that Thomas Partey is unavailable.
Thomas, who has been out with a groin injury since the Manchester United game before to the international break.
He said," Thomas [Parety] for sure is out.
"The rest we hope are available, yes we still have two training sessions, but there were no big issues in midweek."
