If Arsenal fans were hoping for some good news on the injury front from Monday’s open training session in front of the media, they would have been left disappointed by the list of players involved.

Mikel Merino, Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz, and Martin Odegaard were all absent from the session, hinting that they may all be set to miss Tuesday’s game.

That’s certainly not confirmed, as sometimes an injured player will be held back from training to give them as much time as possible to rest ahead of a game. But it would have been a much better sign if any of them had been spotted in training on Monday.
