Arsenal's senior players are to begin reporting back for pre-season training from Monday, with Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney likely to be amongst the first batch.
The pair missed the final two months of the 2021/22 campaign with calf and knee injuries, respectively. This left many supporters to wonder what could have been in the top-four race had one - let alone both - managed to stay fit, considering they had been automatic starters under Mikel Arteta when available for selection.
With that said, now that the dust has settled on last season, it's time to look forward, and optimism will almost certainly be renewed amongst the fanbase when the first images of the Arsenal senior players back in training are released early next week.
