Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has given an update on Bruno Guimaraes' fitness ahead of the upcoming Premier League match against Aston Villa. Guimaraes played in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield but was absent from the opening league game against Coventry. According to a statement released on Thursday, Arteta stated that the Brazilian midfielder is "potentially available" for selection in the upcoming match against Villa.
He further explained that Guimaraes has been training and playing in recent sessions, but Arsenal needs to carefully manage his workload to ensure he is in optimal condition for the Monday game. Arteta also confirmed that new signing Ezri Konsa is available and could make his debut against his former club. The Arsenal manager also provided updates on Jurrien Timber and William Saliba, who have yet to feature this season.
Arteta noted that Timber is progressing well and his workload is being increased, while Saliba is currently being managed conservatively due to an extended period of limited play.
