Arsenal's quest for Premier League glory has received a significant shot in the arm ahead of their crucial encounter against Manchester United on Sunday. According to football.london, three key players - Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Jurrien Timber - are set to make a comeback from injury, handing Mikel Arteta's side a triple injury boost.
Bukayo Saka, who suffered a gashed shin in the previous match against Bournemouth due to robust challenges from Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie, is expected to retain his starting position. Despite the setback, Saka is expected to be a pivotal figure in Arsenal's lineup on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Takehiro Tomiyasu's absence from Tuesday's training session raised some concerns after his full 90-minute performance against Bournemouth. However, there have been no official updates indicating any major issues, leading to optimism about his inclusion this weekend.
The return of Jurrien Timber adds depth to Arsenal's defensive options. Having recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered earlier in the season, Timber has been gaining match fitness with appearances for the U21s.
This triple injury boost comes as a significant morale lift for Arsenal ahead of their crucial match against Manchester United. The Red Devils have also received a double injury boost with Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford returning to training ahead of the clash.
