Arsenal have not picked up a win in their last three games but they will be eager to change that when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday.
The Gunners should have picked up a comfortable win vs Watford last weekend but they ended up making a meal of that match and perhaps were fortunate to walk away with a point.
And while on paper, this Europa League clash might look easy but playing at home the German side will be a force to reckon with since Eintracht are unbeaten at the Commerzbank-Arena this season and have conceded only two goals.
Unai Emery was expected to name a few youngsters in this game but now the manager has received a serious injury boost from his medical staff.
The Gunners official website have released a fresh update in which they have made it clear that Mavropanos, Hector Bellerin and Keiran Tierney have all returned back to full training.
Here’s the injury update:
Alex Lacazette
Left ankle. Alex continues to rehabilitate the injury to his left ankle and is likely to be back in action in October.
Dinos Mavropanos
Now back in full training with the first-team squad. Played 67 minutes with the Under-23s against Leicester City at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Hector Bellerin
Now back in full training with the first-team squad.
Kieran Tierney
Now back in full training with the first-team squad.
There is a good chance that Mavropanos might start the Eintracht vs Arsenal game on Thursday more so since both Sokratis and David Luiz had a really poor outing with Watford.
But then Rob Holding has also returned back from injury and if he gets to start then there is no way that Emery will name two fresh centre-backs in his first XI playing away from home.
And as for Bellerin and Kieran Tierney, we don’t think the manager will use them at any point during the Europa League clash.
