Mikel Arteta provides Arsenal injury update with SEVEN stars missing - and reveals forgotten defender is 'ready' to make first appearance in 16 MONTHS

Daily Mail  

When it comes to injuries, Mikel Arteta is the master of deception. Yet, ahead of Arsenal's Champions League match against Monaco on Wednesday, stringing a backline together could well be a challenge in itself. The 27-year-old left back has long been out of Arteta's plans, having been loaned to Real Sociedad last season before suffering an injury during the Euros which scuppered any potential exit. Mikel Arteta could be without as many as seven first-team players for the visit of Monaco Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey were unable to participate in training on Tuesday Kieran Tierney could be make his first appearance for the Gunners in 16 months on Wednesday 'He's ready. He's trained really well and he's going to have an opportunity for sure,' said Arteta.
