Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira have marked their return to training, providing a timely boost for Mikel Arteta's squad as they gear up for a pivotal Champions League encounter against FC Porto on Wednesday.
Thomas Partey, who faced a setback due to an injury last month, participated in first-team training today, signaling his readiness for the upcoming clash. The 30-year-old midfielder's return comes as a relief for Arsenal, as his absence had been prolonged during his recovery.
Meanwhile, Fabio Vieira, who has been sidelined since the previous year due to injury, has taken a significant step forward in his rehabilitation. He has joined the team in their travels to Portugal for the first leg of the knockout stage against Porto, underlining his determination to contribute to Arsenal's European campaign.
However, it's worth noting that Thomas Partey has not traveled with the squad, suggesting that his complete return to competitive action may require more time.
On the downside, Arsenal continues to grapple with the absence of key players, as Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain sidelined due to injuries. Their unavailability adds an additional layer of challenge for Arteta as he strategizes for the crucial UCL fixture against Porto.
