Arsenal fears as virus sweeps through squad and stars unable to train ahead of Leicester clash[/b]
ARSENAL have literally been left sweating by a virus sweeping through their squad ahead of the lunchtime trip to Leicester.
Manager Mikel Arteta will leave it until the last moment to name his team.
Ben White is one of those affected by the bug over the past few days
That is due to his medical team running checks on a number of players.
Central defenders Ben White and Pablo Mari have both been affected by the bug in the past few days.

And now Arteta fears that others could be affected.
Mari was due to play in the midweek Carabao Cup win against Leeds but was taken ill on the eve of the match and pulled out.
And White only lasted 55 minutes of Tuesday’s 2-0 win before being forced off.
Arteta said: “We’ve had a bit of sickness, tummy aches and stuff like that but hopefully everyone will be OK.
“Ben hasn’t trained yet so we will have to wait and see how he is feeling before we make a decision.
“A few players have been unable to train and we also picked up some knocks in the game against Leeds. Hopefully we will have better news.”
Full-back Kieran Tierney has also missed Arsenal’s last two games with an ankle injury while Granit Xhaka is out for the rest of the year after suffering knee ligament damage last month.
