Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta can breathe a sigh of relief that the likes of Bukayo Saka, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Granit Xhaka all came away from international duty unscathed.
The Gunners are gearing up for one last push as the season approaches its final furlong. As things stand, Arsenal sit eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table with 10 games to play. However, they have played one game more than nearest challengers and reigning champions Manchester City.
With plenty of tricky tests still to come, some sections of the Arsenal fanbase are still reluctant to consider their side as favourites for the title this term. As for Arteta, his focus will be on the very next game, which comes in the form of a home clash with Leeds on Saturday.
Despite Arsenal's position at the top, those working behind the scenes may have one eye on incoming transfers in the summer, with West Ham captain Declan Rice thought to be viewed as a priority target for the Gunners.
Here are the main headlines and talking points around the club for Tuesday, March 28.
Tierney sent message by Liverpool legend
HAVE YOUR SAY! Should Arsenal try and cash in on Tierney? Comment below
Liverpool icon and fellow Scotsman Kenny Dalglish has urged Kieran Tierney to force his way back into the Arsenal starting line-up after losing his place to Oleksandr Zinchenko this season.
"Kieran was left out initially because he was injured, and the player who came in for him has done well," Dalglish told The Sunday Post.
"Mikel Arteta probably decided to sign Zinchenko because he wants Arsenal to play the same way as Manchester City, with the full-backs playing on the inside rather than outside.
"Zinchenko was taught that way at City, so he is used to it. Kieran is not. That does not mean to say Kieran has gone backwards as a player. It is just someone else has been a wee bit better."

Rice told he 'has to leave' West Ham
Declan Rice has been urged to call time on his West Ham career as interest from Arsenal continues to linger.
The midfielder's current contract situation means technically he is tied to West Ham until the summer of 2024, but by that time Rice would be free to leave the club for nothing. As a result, the next window represents their last realistic opportunity to generate serious cash for their captain.
Ex-Liverpool star Danny Murphy feels that the main focus now should simply be heading for the exit at West Ham, as he told the Daily Mail : "Declan Rice has to leave West Ham.
"Ideally he would have gone last summer because it’s been hard for him to maintain his best form in a team that doesn’t keep the ball or boss games as well as others.
"He’s 100 per cent ready to move to the next level and at 24 won’t want to wait any longer for Champions League football."

Antony mocked with Saka comparison
Manchester United winger Antony has been told he is currently no match for the technical prowess of Bukayo Saka.
The claim was made by none other than Premier League-winner Chris Sutton, who waxed lyrical over Arsenal's number seven and placed him above some of the division's biggest names.
"Saka is winning the battle on the right," Sutton explained to the Mail. "[Mohamed] Salah has not been the same footballing force for Liverpool this season. [Riyad] Mahrez is incredibly talented for Man City but I would rank Saka ahead of him.
"And I won’t be taking any suggestions of Antony seriously — the United man probably has Saka posters hanging on his bedroom wall!"
