Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been putting his side through their paces ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash against Sporting CP.
The first leg of their round of 16 matchup ended 2-2 in Lisbon as William Saliba's opener was cancelled out by two Sporting goals before a freak own goal from Hidemasa Morita meant the scoreline would be level going into this week's game at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners' most recent outing came on Sunday afternoon when they defeated Fulham 3-0 in the Premier League, which saw four first-team players welcomed back following injuries and illnesses.
Star forward Gabriel Jesus, who had been sidelined for over three months due to a knee injury, was a late substitute at Craven Cottage whilst Leandro Trossard made a speedy return following his groin injury. Both Martin Odegaard and Kieran Tierney had been under the weather for the first leg against Ruben Amorim's side but they recovered in time for the trip to west London as well.
