Bukayo Saka wore the captain's armband for Arsenal in their opening pre-season friendly of the summer and then hailed the new arrivals to Mikel Arteta's squad

Max Dowman has taken to social media following his senior Arsenal debut against AC Milan at just 15 years old.

Several Arsenal players have expressed their support to Gabriel Jesus as he continues to recover from a serious knee injury. The Brazilian has not featured since January after rupturing his Anterior Cruciate Ligament during the FA Cup third round defeat against Manchester United.

Only Christian Norgaard of Arteta’s five summer signings to date made the starting line-up. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga sat on the bench with fellow Spain international Martin Zubimendi, while Noni Madueke is on a post-Club World Cup break and Christhian Mosquera is yet to join up with the squad.

Arsenal have been handed a major boost following Gabriel Jesus' latest injury update, liked by stars Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka.

Bukayo Saka has already been working very closely with new Arsenal coach Gabriel Heinze during the club's pre-season training camp in Spain.

Arsenal had the better of the opening exchanges and Ethan Nwaneri nearly opened the scoring with a neat turn and fierce strike from the edge of the area that forced Pietro Terracciano into a full-stretch save.
