Fabio Vieira was spotted wearing a foot brace shortly after signing for Arsenal, but he has since joined up with the senior squad ahead of tomorrow’s pre-season friendly with Nurnberg.
The Portuguese was a surprise signing in north London, bolstering our options in behind the striker, and fans will be keen to see their first look at what he can bring to our famous red and white.
It remains to be seen if he will feature tomorrow, but having been spotted cycling around with the rest of the squad today, we may well get our first look at him in our team.

Vieira has some work to do to break into the first-team, but a strong pre-season will work wonders for him, and the sooner he can get going the better. He is expected to challenge Martin Odegaard for the AM role this term, one of our best players so far in 2022, and it will be interesting to see how quickly he can settle into our side this summer.
Who else are you most looking forward to seeing in pre-season?

Good news!
Vieira will be playing a very crucial role in case Odegard drops out of form or would be a reliable back up to Ode. That said it is heartening to see he is out of the protective footgear and is training normally. We will need as many players as fit as possible since the season will be long and tough.
If he’s like Bernardo Silva then Oedegaard should be benched, we can’t have our midfield lightweights .
