Arsenal trio Takehiro Tomiyasu, Emile Smith Rowe, and Kieran Tierney have all been spotted in training this week.
Takehiro Tomiyasu is close to a return from injury and could return to full training next week, but Kieran Tierney’s situation is less clear.
Takehiro Tomiyasu continues to struggle with a minor muscle issue and there’s concern he now won’t be ready for the start of the new season along with Kieran Tierney and Fabio Vieira.
According to Mikel Arteta’s latest update, Fabio Vieira is unlikely to be fit for the start of the season in just under two weeks having not featured for Arsenal since joining the club.
