Mikel Arteta has welcomed Gabriel Jesus back into the Arsenal fold but now he admits fellow striker Eddie Nketiah faces a "big challenge" to return from an ankle injury.

The Gunners maintained a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table despite the fact they had no recognised striker with both Jesus and Nketiah crocked.
