North London giants Arsenal have named their provisional squad ahead of the league meeting with Burnley.

Arsenal will host Burnley at the Emirates Stadium in what’s the first game of week two matches in the Premier League.

The big news for the Gunners is that Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are available for selection again after their recent woes with criminals in London.

The two players have been targeted by gangs in the capital thus prompting the Metropolitan Police to open an investigation into the situation.

Arsenal manager Unai Emery confirmed earlier in the week that the two players have returned to the squad after missing the Premier League opener at Newcastle United.

Ozil and Kolasinac were conspicuously absent as Pierre-Aubameyang scored the only goal of the game to hand Arsenal a 1-0 win at the home of Newcastle United.

Strike partner Alexandre Lacazette was an unused substitute because of a little ankle issue for the Newcastle game but the Frenchman has recovered fully to take his place in the squad for the league clash with the Clarets.

Arsenal’s provisional squad: Bernd Leno, Emiliano Martinez, Ainsley  Maitland-Niles, Shkrodan Mustafi, David Luiz, Sokratis Papasthathopoulos Sokratis, Calum Chambers, Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac, Granit Xhaka, Matteo Guendouzi, Lucas Torreira, Mohamed Elneny, Joe Willock, Dani Ceballos, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Nicolas Pepe, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Gabriel Martinelli.
