Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta gets huge double injury boost as three players miss training

1 hour ago 38

Arsenal were back in training at London Colney on Monday morning ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP in Lisbon

Arsenal were back on the grass at the Sobha Realty Training Centre following their disappointing FA Cup exit at the hands of Southampton on Saturday night.

The Gunners fly to Portugal later today as they gear up to face Viktor Gyokeres' former side Sporting CP in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.

There was a huge double boost for Mikel Arteta as Gabriel Magalhaes was able to train despite being substituted at St Mary's due to knee pain.

Declan Rice, who missed the contest and England's two international matches due to a fitness issue, was also present for the training session, indicating he should be available.

There was still no Ebere Eze, however, despite strong suggestions he could be set to make an early return from a calf problem.

Left-back Piero Hincapie was also absent with a hamstring issue while Jurrien Timber looks set to miss the clash, too.

Timber has been missing with a groin injury sustained before the international break. The issue saw him miss the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City.
