The past week has turned out to be a significant one for several members of this season's Arsenal loan army.
Particularly for Omar Rekik , Mika Biereth and Marcelo Flores as they earned matchday recalls for their respective loan clubs after a period on the sidelines. The former, who joined Wigan Athletic on transfer deadline day in January, made his return after a four-game absence in a 1-1 draw against a Birmingham City side that featured fellow loanee Auston Trusty.
Meanwhile, Biereth got a couple of minutes at the end of RKC Waalwijk's 1-0 home defeat to PSV Eindhoven after missing the previous six Eredivisie matches and for the first time in 2023, Flores featured for Real Oviedo as he started their 1-0 loss against Mirandes.
