Arsenal could potentially welcome Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Takehiro Tomiyasu to their squad for the upcoming game against Sheffield United, marking a significant development.
Mikel Arteta’s squad has rarely had a fully-fit lineup since the beginning of the season, but players are now returning from injuries at a crucial juncture in the campaign.
Arsenal finds itself in a title race with formidable competitors in Liverpool and Manchester City, both of whom appear unbeatable at the moment. Despite the Gunners’ impressive form, competition at the top of the league standings remains challenging.
According to The Sun, in addition to the returning players, Arsenal is also a few weeks away from being able to include Jurrien Timber in their squad, providing them with a fully-fit roster.
This presents a substantial boost to their chances of staying competitive in the title race and avoiding a repeat of the collapse they experienced at the end of the previous season.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Having a fully fit squad means we now have a good chance of winning the title because it makes it easier for us to win matches even on our bad days.
Our players have been fantastic, but when their injured teammates return, their performance level will become even better.

No. That will not win us the Title. Now We can only hope for dip in form of City and pool and try to win our matches. Thomas Partey, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Jurrien Timber will be useful. Gabriel Jesus can be used as a competition for Saka and Martinelli on wings. Oleksandr Zinchenko will be useful if Arteta plays him in attacking sense, otherwise he will be liability in defensive position.
Good job because it’s going to be tough!
Man City eventually destroyed Man U in the last game, and Nottingham Forest were good for a whole 99 mins against Liverpool before still giving up the 3 points right at the end. Having said that Liverpool really struggled past them and got lucky Forest switched-off. City can be got at, so it’s all possible and all to play for.
Yes, it is going to be very tough indeed. Arsenal needs to keep clanging those goals because it might come to it at the end.
Jesus and Tomi are the only ones who can start out of the returning players. Imo, Kiwior has overtaken Zinny now. And our midfield is good enough that we don’t really require a fullback to drop into midfield to the extent that Zinny does. White can do it less frequently, still effectively and not be a massive defensive liability. Jesus, obvs an important player for us. Just needs to finally stay fit. With Havertz in form not a guaranteed starter either. But I’m still not fully convinced this is more than just a purple patch for Kai. Hopefully he can sustain this form.
It’s the strength that these returning players give our bench that is important.
MA’s squad will be just one player missing, Timber, if all goes well.
After the Brentford and Porto games, we have the luxury of eleven days, I believe, due to the chelsea game being postponed, with no PL footbalk and, while there is a small negativity for those returning players, we should have a rejuvenated and full squad.
THAT’S when we can press home the advantage of players returning.
