Arsenal held their final training session ahead of their Premier League clash against Southampton, with Unai Emery being given some good news on the injury front.

Defender Laurent Koscielny was taken off as a precaution against BATE Borisov on Thursday but took a full part in training, as did Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who has recovered from illness.
That means Emery has the vast majority of his squad to choose from, with the only absentees being long-term ones in Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Danny Welbeck.



Young striker Eddie Nketiah, who has frequently been named in matchday squads this season, was involved in the session.
The Arsenal players seemed in good spirits during training, and Nacho Monreal even took the opportunity to act as a photographer, taking pictures of Alexandre Lacazette and Maitland-Niles.



Mesut Ozil, who will be aiming to start against Southampton, looked focused during the session, as did recent loan arrival Denis Suarez.
Emery's team are seeking to build upon their win over BATE as they look to give themselves the best possible chance of getting into next season's Champions League.
Arsenal go into the game against Southampton in fifth place in the Premier League.
