Arsenal defender Nuno Tavares may have dropped a major hint on his side's starting XI for Monday night's Premier League clash against Newcastle United.
The north Londoners must win if they want to regain fourth spot from Tottenham Hotspur after the Lillywhites secured a 1-0 victory against Burnley on Sunday afternoon. However, manager Mikel Arteta has a number of injury concerns ahead of the match at St. James' Park, with Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney still sidelined whilst defensive duo Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes are both doubts.
White hasn't played a single minute since last month's 3-1 win against Manchester United, suffering from a hamstring issue that kept him out of wins against West Ham and Leeds before he watched from the bench as the Gunners lost 3-0 to Spurs last week. Gabriel was substituted after picking up a knock during the defeat to Antonio Conte and Co, with neither centre-back spotted in the club's recent training ground pictures at their London Colney base.
