Mikel Arteta is hoping to recall injury doubts Alexandre Lacazette and Kieran Tierney for Arsenal's crucial Europa League clash against Villarreal after they both took part in full training

Mikel Arteta will make late calls on Alexandre Lacazette and Kieran Tierney’s availability for Arsenal’s huge Europa League tie against Villarreal.

The duo, who have both been out injured, took part in full training yesterday ahead of tomorrow’s second leg.

Arsenal, who lost the away leg 2-1, are optimistic Lacazette will be able to make the bench after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury suffered against Fulham last month.

Kieran Tierney has returned to full training after a month out of action with a knee injury

Tierney is a bit further away from match fitness having been sidelined since the start of April with a knee injury though Arteta is weighing up whether to include the left-back in his squad and have him available for a late cameo if required.
