If offensive efficiency remains a source of concern, Arsenal can at least hope to recover their two key defenders soon. Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, who pushed their rehabilitation to be ready as quickly as possible, attended Wednesday evening’s meeting at the Emirates to encourage their partners.
Their potential return would constitute a valuable reinforcement for a squad still deprived of captain Martin Ødegaard, still bothered by a stubborn knee. Arteta will therefore experience 48 hours of feverish waiting: the medical team must confirm, by then, which executives will be able to embark for Manchester, in view of a meeting already presented as a turning point for the title.
