The Egypt international stood in for Thomas Partey at the end of last season and earned a new one-year contract on the back of some influential displays at the heart of Arsenal’s engine room.
Elneny was expected to play an important role again this season, particularly in the Europa League, but he has been out since the start of September after he suffered an injury in the win over Fulham.
The 30-year-old now appears ready to challenge for a first team place again after he was pictured in training ahead of tomorrow’s must-win clash.
