Mikel Arteta issues update on key Arsenal pair ahead of Chelsea clash

Mikel Arteta updates Arsenal's two main players ahead of Chelsea clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that both Takehiro Tomiasu and Alexandre Lacazette will be assessed on Tuesday before facing Chelsea on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge, where it is possible that both will be offered.

Tomiyasu was expected to return to training after the Southampton defeat, after three months on the sidelines with various groin injuries, and the Gunners boss claimed the Japan defender is “very close” to a return but the match against the Blues could have come too early.

Meanwhile, Alexandre Lacazette missed out on defeat against Southampton after testing positive for COVID-19, for the second time this season, and as Tomiyasu continues and goes on the journey through the capital. His fitness will be assessed after Tuesday’s training session.

Arsenal in a must-win area?

Three defeats on jumping sides at the center of the table left Arsenal desperate to make up ground in the race to finish fourth in the Premier League, and qualify for next season’s Champions League as a result.

A win over Chelsea and then the result against Manchester United in the Emirates on Saturday would go a long way to reversing some of the damage done, not least because the confrontation with the Blues represents their postponed match against their north London rivals Tottenham, the current defending champion. from fourth place.

However, defeats in either or both games could leave Arsenal out of the fray entirely, especially if Tottenham manage to put together any sort of shape ahead of the rescheduled north London derby in the penultimate week of the season.

He’s made it to part or break the season for every aspect, and Mikel Arteta’s team is no exception.
