Arsenal Handed Boost As Key Players Return To Training After Injury-Induced Lay-off

Arsenal have been handed a boost ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League round of 16 tie at FC Porto, with Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira being in attendance at training following recent injury issues.

Arsenal will hope to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2010.

The Gunners have returned to the Champions League for the first time since the 2016/17 season and secured their place in the knockout stages after topping their group.

Partey and Vieira missed Arsenal’s 5-0 victory at Burnley last weekend but could feature against Porto on Wednesday evening.

Arsenal are due to fly to Portugal on Tuesday evening, ahead of the Champions League last 16 clash with the two-time European champions.
