Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Bruno Guimaraes ahead of the Gunners’ trip to face Aston Villa, while also revealing the latest on Ezri Konsa’s potential debut.
Guimaraes has emerged as a concern for Arsenal after picking up an injury, leaving his availability for the upcoming Premier League fixture uncertain.
Arteta is expected to make a late decision on the midfielder as Arsenal assess his condition before the trip to Villa Park. The Gunners will be hoping the injury is not serious, given Guimaraes’ importance to their midfield.
Meanwhile, Ezri Konsa could make his Arsenal debut against his former club. The defender knows Villa well and could be handed an immediate opportunity if Arteta decides he is ready to feature.
Konsa’s potential return to Villa Park adds an intriguing subplot to the fixture, with the England international facing the club where he established himself before moving on.
Arsenal will be looking to maintain their strong start to the season, but Arteta’s latest fitness updates could influence his team selection for what promises to be a demanding encounter.
Will Bruno Guimaraes recover in time, and could Ezri Konsa make an emotional Arsenal debut against Aston Villa?
