Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe all returned to training yesterday, and could well return for Arsenal on Thursday.
The trio were all missing as our side went onto lose at Liverpool on Saturday evening, but will all be a huge boost to our options ahead of Slavia Prague, assuming they do prove ready to be made available.
There is definitely a growing hope that all three could well be in line to start tomorrow after witnessing them all in full training, and it they will certainly calm some nerves after the disasterclass we witnessed in their absence at the weekend.
Back out there. Back to it 💪

Would the return of the trio be a huge relief ahead of Thursday?

Saka and ESR are form players so yes good news.
Yeah! Sigh of relief! At least Saka and ESR inclusion will aid our attack significantly.
While I am not a great fan of Xhaka , basically due to his lack of pace and mobility, I accept that he was badly missed against Liverpool.Like it or not, he brings a balance to the team which was lacking on Saturday and will be more needed than ever with the absence of Tierney.
Tierney has suffered ligament damage in his knee… 4-6 weeks out. What a bummer!
