Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has provided a fresh injury update on Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey following the club’s 4-2 Premier League win over Leeds United.
The north London giants returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion after previously going three league games without a victory (one draw and two defeats).
Both Tierney and Thomas Partey were sidelined for the game due to respective injuries and speaking after the game, Arteta was unsure whether either player will return to face Benfica on Thursday.
Tierney is likely to feature in regular training this week and Arteta said that the left-back has got ‘a bigger chance’ of making the squad for the midweek game.
