This time last year, Arsenal had a few bad results that ended up looking crucial come the end, as a superb second-half-of-the-season run saw them ultimately finish just behind Manchester City on the final day of the season.
Mikel Arteta’s side also slipped up a few days ago with a 1-1 draw away to Fulham, but it’s fair to say injuries haven’t helped.
Now, however, it looks like good news for Arsenal on that front as all three of Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko could return for the Monaco game on Wednesday, according to the Evening Standard.
It’s been a really, really tricky season for Arsenal with injuries, with a few of the key guys missing a lot of big games so far.
Martin Odegaard has only just returned after a layoff in some big games, and summer signings Calafiori and Mikel Merino have also struggled with fitness problems that have slowed down their progress in north London.
With Gabriel, Calafiori and Zinchenko all out, the Fulham game saw Arteta having to majorly reshuffle his defence, moving Jurrien Timber across to left-back as Thomas Partey filled in on the right-hand side.
It will be a big boost for AFC if these three can now play again from tomorrow evening, and Gooners will be desperate to see Calafiori put his fitness issues behind him.
The Italy international is clearly a huge talent who’s started very well at the Emirates, but he has proved quite injury-prone so far.
