Fabio Vieira confirms return date in response to Arsenal injury fears after being spotted in protective boot

Fabio Vieira has informed Arsenal fans that he will be fit to join up with the squad for pre-season “very soon” despite injury fears for the new signing.

A social media image of the Portuguese midfielder circulated on Friday showing Vieira wearing a protective boot on his left foot.

However, the player insists that the move was just a precaution ahead of his first day at work with the Gunners.

“Relax guys... it’s just a precaution!” he posted on Instagram.

“I’m all okay and will be joining the Arsenal team for pre-season very soon.”

Arsenal started their pre-season schedule in recent days and are set to jet off to the German locale of Herzogenaurach for a clash with Nurnberg at the headquarters of sponsors Adidas on Friday.

Everton, Orlando City and Chelsea will be the team’s opponents on a tour of the United States before they return to face Sevilla in the Emirates Cup.
