Arsenal have begun work ahead of their Premier League clash at home to West Ham. The players have enjoyed some time off following the win at Leicester City and have gone through the dedicated recovery required after the game.
Mikel Arteta led sessions on Tuesday morning which included plenty of young stars in the wake of the injury crisis ongoing at the club. Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Takehiro Tomiyasu were all absent from the session as expected as they look to recover from frustrating injuries.
The first thing seen is that the senior and youth players play in different training kits at the moment. The first team squad wore a matte black and grey training kit whereas the youngsters were in navy.
What this tells us is that 22-year-old Nathan Butler-Oyedeji can be seen wearing the black garment. He therefore has been given a squad promotion, like Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, neither of whom were in the navy strip which is now no surprise.
Where is Jakub Kiwior?
Naturally while spotting the players involved, the checklist comes out to see who was not spotted in training. Despite David Raya being seen, backup goalkeeper Neto was not pictured but the Spaniard was only seen in a group image with no shooting or goalkeeper drills captured.
