Arsenal could welcome back Fabio Vieira, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu against Crystal Palace this evening, but Emile Smith Rowe is poised to miss the Premier League opener.
Smith Rowe has been struggling with a groin issue and revealed earlier this week that he is likely to miss tonight’s curtain-raiser at Selhurst Park.
Tierney, Tomiyasu and Vieira have all experienced injury issues too and struggled for minutes in pre-season.
When asked on Thursday about the fitness of the Arsenal quartet, Arteta said: “Well three out of four of those, probably they are going to be training this afternoon.
“If everything goes well they will be available for selection in the squad. Hopefully they are going to start to recover, because they have been missing a lot of minutes and time in pre-season. They are really important players for us.”
