The
full-backs haven't been available for Unai Emery so far this season but
they could feature together for the Gunners after the international
break.
Arsenal could be set for a major boost after the international
break with full-backs Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin close to
returning to full fitness.
Bellerin hasn’t played since January after rupturing his cruciate
ligament in a 2-0 win over Chelsea, while summer signing Tierney is yet
to make an appearance for his new side as he recovers from a double
hernia operation.
However, Arsenal have now confirmed that both players are hoping to
return to full training in September, meaning Gunners fans may be able
to look forward to seeing the pair marauding the flanks together sooner
than expected.
In the recent defeat to Liverpool, Nacho Monreal and Ainsley
Maitland-Niles started at full-back and struggled to deal with the
intensity of their opponents’ attacking play – though the pair were also
exposed by a narrow Arsenal midfield.
While Unai Emery’s side have shown promise in their wins over
Newcastle and Burnley so far, the extra threat posed from wide by
Bellerin and Tierney is expected to give the team a more complete look.
With further attacking quality provided by new signings Dani
Ceballos and Nicolas Pepe, Emery will be keen to strike the right
balance as he looks to make good on last season’s disappointments with a
return to the Champions League.
Tierney and Bellerin’s fellow defender Konstantinos Mavropanos is
also targeting September for a return to full training as he recovers
from a groin injury, while two other Arsenal players are even closer to a
return.
Rob Holding and Emile Smith Rowe have both been in action for the
club’s youth sides over the last week, and have both completed 90
minutes as Emery’s squad moves closer to being complete.
For the time being, Arsenal are fully focused on Sunday’s clash
with Tottenham, as the Emirates hosts the first North London Derby of
the 2019-20 season.
Following the international break after the Spurs game, the Gunners
face Watford and Aston Villa before a Carabao Cup tie which could
provide a good opportunity for those returning from injury to return to
first-team action.
Arsenal will host Championship side Nottingham Forest, with a
certain amount of revenge on the cards after Forest knocked them out of
the FA Cup with a 4-2 win two years ago.
