Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira is set to give Mikel Arteta a major boost by returning to the squad for next week’s Champions League last-16 first leg clash against Porto.

The playmaker has been out since November after undergoing groin injury.

The 23-year-old has missed a busy period of action, in what has proven to be a frustrating second season at the club.

Arsenal put six past West Ham on Sunday, with Arteta’s side looking like they are finding their groove at just the right time.

The Gunners’ Champions League campaign resumes next week, with a trip to Porto to face the Portuguese giants.

And Vieira has given Arteta a major boost by returning to training, and the midfielder hopes to be fit to face Porto.

Emile Smith Rowe and Thomas Partey are sidelined, while Gabriel Jesus has also struggled with injuries.

Arsenal are one of the favourites for this year’s tournament, behind the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The Gunners have never won the competition, with their best finish coming as runners-up in 2006.

He's been formidable this season. Arsenal appear much more likely to sign one club's high-earning midfielder over the heavily-linked Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz, according to reports. Edu eyeing new midfielder in January As per widespread rumours in the English press and beyond, signing a new central midfielder in January appears a distinct possibility as sporting director Edu Gaspar makes winter transfer plans. Related Arteta lining up Arsenal bid for their new Ozil in “wonderful” £34m talent Mikel Arteta wants to add a future star to his side this January. Thomas Partey has been unreliable with injuries this season, and if fit by early next month, will travel to represent Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations. Meanwhile, both Jorginho and Mohamed Elneny are set to leave when their contracts expire next summer. These factors make the need for a new man in the middle of the park all the more important next month. Villa's Luiz is reported to be a dream target for Arsenal (Fab...

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again

Saka nets brace as Arsenal hammer Burnley to close gap again Bukayo Saka scored twice for the rampant Gunners REUTERS Liverpool’s win over Brentford earlier in the day had moved them five points clear at the top, but the Gunners responded in fine fashion to reduce the deficit back to two and keep themselves firmly in the Premier League title race. Saka took his Premier League tally for the season to 12 goals, with Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz also on target for the rampant Gunners. Picking up from where they left off in the big win over West Ham, Arsenal did not even need five minutes to take the lead, as Gabriel Martinelli picked out Odegaard and the captain fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Burnley never looked like causing the Gunners any real problems and the lead was doubled before the break. Leandro Trossard was brought down in the box and Bukayo Saka made no mistake from the spot, despite James Trafford going the right way. Saka needed ...

  Arsenal's Havertz seals 2-1 win London's Arsenal topped the English Premier League in a hard-fought 2-1 win over visitors Brentford Saturday. After Arsenal's Ben White whipped a cross, Declan Rice gave a 1-0 lead to the Gunners in front of their crowd at the Emirates Stadium through a header in the 19th minute.

Arsenal beats Porto on penalties to reach Champions League quarterfinals

  Arsenal beats Porto on penalties to reach Champions League quarterfinals LONDON (AP) — Arsenal reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2010 after beating Porto 4-2 in a penalty shootout on Tuesday, ending a streak of seven eliminations in the round of 16. David Raya saved Galeno’s spot kick to seal the win for Arsenal, which had won the game 1-0 to level the aggregate score at 1-1. Wendell also missed his penalty for Porto, hitting the post with his team’s second attempt at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal trailed 1-0 from the first leg in Portugal — when Galeno scored the winner deep into stoppage time — but went level through Leandro Trossard’s 41st-minute goal. Neither side could find another goal despite extra time as Porto’s disciplined defensive tactics largely held Arsenal at bay. Arsenal had been eliminated at this stage seven years in a row under Arsene Wenger between 2011-17, the last time the London club played in the competition. ___

Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira are both back in training today.

Image
  Arsenal handed double boost as Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira train ahead of Champions League return Partey has been out of action since October after injuring his thigh, while Vieira has been absent since November after undergoing groin surgery. Both players took part in training on Tuesday morning, though, with Arsenal due to face Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday. The Gunners have not made it past this stage of the Champions League since 2010, when they coincidentally beat Porto. Arsenal are looking to make the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010 PA The trio were not at training on Tuesday morning and it leaves Arsenal particularly light on options in defence. Jakub Kiwior, who has started the last two games, is likely to keep his place at left-back. Jesus’ absence means that Leandro Trossard could lead the line again, although Kai Havertz is an option too. Arsenal head into their clash at Porto in fine form aft...
