Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an injury update on three players ahead of the Premier League opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow.
The Gunners finished just two points behind Manchester City for the league title last term. They were brilliant in the back end of last season, losing just one game.
The loss to Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium proved costly in the end. The club will be aiming to go one better this time around. Ahead of the curtain-raiser, Arteta has provided an update on three players.
Jurrien Timber missed recent friendlies with a minor foot problem, but he returned to training earlier this week. Arteta has confirmed that the 23-year-old will be in the squad.
He told reporters: “Yeah he will be in the squad tomorrow.”
However, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are a few weeks away from returning to full fitness. They are recovering from knee and hamstring injuries respectively.
Arteta said on the duo: “They will be a few weeks behind still.”
