Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has come out to say that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Kieran Tierney are all available to return vs Villarreal. He recently revealed that all 3 players are in contention to feature in the UEL game.

According to him, he is happy that Tierney didn’t need the surgery the club was scared of months ago, and he has since been training like a beast.
Arteta added that he doesn’t know if the defender will be fit for 90 minutes, but he is definitely close to being completely ready.
His words, “They are all in contention, all of them – including Aubameyang, Laca and Kieran. They are all in contention for the game.”
On Tierney, “He didn’t need the surgery that at the beginning we were afraid of. Then he has been working like a beast every single day.”
“And I don’t know if he is going to make it tomorrow, but certainly he wants to be as close as possible to that football pitch to give himself the best possible chance.”
On selecting unfit players, “We do need them because we know that we have some players that are in contention and they are the ones that can make the difference in a big tie like this.”
“But the word risk, I don’t like it. I want to put players on the pitch that can perform and feel secure they can perform. If it is a risk or we are going to take a gamble, I don’t think it is the right game to do it.”
