Arsenal injury update: Tierney ruled out but four players could return against Wolves

Arsenal’s medical staff released a fitness update on the club’s official website ahead of our trip to the Molineux to face Wolves tonight.

There is good news and bad news, and thankfully, the good outweighs the bad – well, slightly.

Arsenal have revealed that Kieran Tierney will miss the game against Wolves later today. The Scotsman is yet to recover from his troublesome calf, and that is a massive blow for us.

Tierney has now missed each of our last three games in all competitions. He is one of our best players, and his absence takes away most of our attacking threat down the left flank.

Cedric has done really well in our last two games, but he isn’t a left-back. He will have to do a job again later tonight, but Mikel Arteta should be wary about overworking him considering our upcoming gruelling fixture list.

As bad as that news is, Arteta has something to be happy about ahead of the game against Wolves tonight.

Arsenal could have four players back

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has returned to action and he will likely be available for selection. Our skipper has had a lot to deal with over the last few days, but his return is a huge boost for us.

Bukayo Saka was sidelined for the game against Manchester United due to a sore hip and the Englishman was a big miss. Thankfully, he is now back in full training, and if all goes well, he will make the trip to the Molineux.

Dani Ceballos is another player who has been out for a while. The Spaniard has missed our last five games in all competitions, but he is now back, and Granit Xhaka can finally get a well-deserved break.

Another huge boost is the return of Pablo Mari. The former Flamengo man was incredible for us at the start of our winning run, and if he is fully fit, he should slot straight back into the squad.

David Luiz played incredibly well against United but Mari provides better balance. The Spaniard is unbeaten in an Arsenal shirt whenever he has played whole game, and his return to full training is excellent news.
