Arteta (calf) played 23 minutes off the bench in the FA Cup tie against Sunderland on Saturday.

Arteta only has seven appearances (no starts) for the Gunners in Premier League this season. He's, only, a good replacement option for manager Arsene Wenger and is not a fantasy option for you.

Arteta (calf) is available to play in Saturday's FA Cup match against Sunderland.

Arteta's return will help in the defensive midfield, as Francis Coquelin (knee) remains out, though Mathieu Flamini has actually played fairly well in their places.

Arteta (calf) has returned to training but is short of match fitness to be selected for a game, manager Arsene Wenger said Wednesday.

Arteta has been out since mid-November due to the ailment, and while his return will certainly be helpful for Arsenal's depth in the defensive midfield, Arteta doesn't contribute much in most fantasy formats to make a major impact.

Arteta could return to training in the second week of January as he continues to recover from a calf injury.

Manager Arsene Wenger stated that Arteta and Alexis Sanchez are the closest of the injured Arsenal players to returning, with the Chilean expected back around Jan. 10. As such, it would be reasonable to assume that Arteta will also return around that time, when he will provide cover in the injury-riddled Arsenal midfield.

Arteta (calf) will not play Sunday against Aston Villa.

Arteta could return at some point during the holiday period, but it's unclear when he'll be able to get back. He could be a regular starter in place of the injured Francis Coquelin (knee), though his fantasy upside is fairly limited in most formats.

Arter (calf) is unsure on just how long he could be out for.

Arter has limited value as a healthy player, and this injury will keep him out of the lineup and out of his usually role as a substitute. Once he's deemed healthy he'll most likely return to his limited role as a substitute.

Arteta came on in the first half of Saturday's match against West Brom for Francis Coquelin after he suffered a knee injury, but he then came off at halftime because of a calf issue, according to manager Arsene Wenger.

Arteta doesn't hold a lot of fantasy value even when he's fully fit, though he could be looking at an extended run if Coquelin's injury is as serious as the club believes it could be. Then again, that depends on the severity of his own ailment.
