Also, Mikel Arteta released some positive news today. Kieran Tierney and Cedric Soares are both processing well following their injuries and could even be available for Monday night’s FA Cup match at Portsmouth.
On the negative side, the manager also reported there is a small chance Sead Kolasinac won’t play again this season. The team is waiting on word from the medical staff on whether or not the his shoulder was dislocated v Everton.
COYG!
