Arsenal midfielders Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira have reportedly been spotted in training ahead of tomorrow’s UEFA Champions League clash against FC Porto.

The duo have been out on the sideline for some time, with Partey last featuring for Arsenal in their 1-0 win against Manchester in October as Vieira was last seen against Burnley in November, where the playmaker was sent off.

Both players have been out through injury, though reports suggest that both Partey and Vieira will soon return to action as Arsenal look to challenge for the Premier League and Champions League.

Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira spotted in Arsenal training ahead FC Porto tie

And according to Football London, both Partey and Vieira have now been seen training ahead of tomorrow’s encounter in Portugal, with Arsenal eager to come away from Porto with a win.

With Vieira facing his former side, the £34m Arsenal signing from Porto could complete a brilliant comeback against the team where everything started for the 23-year-old playmaker.

As for Partey, the midfielder’s return to the Arsenal squad will be a welcome sign for supporters, with the former Atletico Madrid star missing essentially the entire season so far through injury.

Indeed, Arsenal have a number of quality players due to return in the coming weeks, and Vieira and Partey both making the bench could be massive for Mikel Arteta in his quest for European glory.

Arsenal need to show they mean business in the UEFA Champions League

Arsenal are potential underdogs in the Champions League this season, with the Gunners hitting top form at the right time after a stunning run of results in the Premier League.

Whilst few fans are dreaming of European glory, it’s certainly something that’s achievable this season, and a big win against Porto could set the wheels in motion for something historic.

If the Gunners can get over their 14-year-long Round of 16 hex, there’s no telling how far Arsenal can go in the Champions League, and tomorrow night could be the start of a brilliant journey.
