Arsenal fans will love to see who is back on the bench for Chelsea test

Arsenal's trip to Chelsea this afternoon as seen two crucial players return to the matchday squad.

Both Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Jesus have made their respective comebacks from injury to be named on the Gunners bench for their London derby test at Stamford Bridge today.

Mikel Arteta will be delighted to have another two striker options back available for selection and there is no doubt the pair could have some involvement in today's game.

Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Jesus return to Arsenal bench

Prior to the game, there were a number of reports that both Gyökeres and Jesus had travelled with their teammates for the game, but there was still uncertainty if they would be included in the squad.

That question has now been answered though with the pair being named on the bench to make their returns from respective injuries.

Gyökeres had been unavailable for selection after sustaining an injury in a 2-0 at Burnley prior to the international break and was forced to miss a number of important games, with Mikel Merino standing in for him to lead the line.

Jesus, on the other hand, has had a much tougher return to action as he was ruled out for almost a year when he suffered an ACL injury at the beginning of the calendar year. He underwent a long road to recovery and has finally made his comeback after a long spell on the sidelines.

Regardless of how long either spent out of action, it is great to see them both now back involved in a matchday capacity. Gyökeres will be hoping to take the opportunity to continue the fine of form he was on prior to being ruled out while Jesus will be looking to build up some minutes in order to either fight for his place in the Arsenal team or secure a move away in January or the summer.

This positive news didn't go without a negative though as in the midst of their return, William Saliba was ruled out of the trip to Chelsea after suffering a knock in training, meaning Cristhian Mosquera has filled in on the right side of defence.

While it is great to see Gyökeres and Jesus back in the squad, Arteta will be cautious of putting the pair at risk of suffering further injury, but if the chance comes, it would be brilliant for them both to be given some time on the pitch at Stamford Bridge.
