Arsenal received positive news ahead of their match against Fulham on Saturday after manager Mikel Arteta revealed that Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus is available again.

Jesus has made sufficient recovery following knee surgery and could play against Fulham.

Jesus has missed Arsenal's opening two games - wins over Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace - after undergoing what Arteta described as a “little procedure” days before the start of the season.

“It was a big blow for him after the preseason that he had to have another surgery,” Arteta said.

“But he is looking sharp and he trained the full week really good so he's ready go.”

There is speculation that both Folarin Balogun and Kieran Tierney could leave the club, and with the transfer window closing on September 1 a lot can still happen.

"There are some movements happening. Obviously, the last week is going to be really, really busy, but there's nothing we can announce at the moment," Arteta said.

"We need clarity in the amount of numbers we're going to have and who can do what, but until the window is shut..."

Meanwhile, Marco Silva admitted it will be difficult to replace Aleksandar Mitrovic and strengthen his squad as Fulham's hunt for new players hots up.

The Cottagers will be without the Serbian striker, who netted 14 goals in the league last season, after they sold him for a club-record fee to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.

Silva hinted Fulham have left it too late to find the right profile of players to fill his under-sized squad with just one week before the market closes until January.

"In this moment in the market I have to say it is really difficult [to sign players] and this is the problem when you leave things until the last week of the market," Silva said.

"I am 100 per cent sure even if we lose an important player for us [Mitrovic] that with time we would be able to sign a player that could help us but right now we are doing the maximum, so let's see if it will be possible.

"Seven players left us at the end of the season and we lost Mitrovic too and we've just signed two so I think it's clear to people how many players we need."

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
