Arsenal have been dealt a huge worry ahead of their Champions League clash with Monaco after Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey missed training on Tuesday.
The duo were absent from the afternoon session at Sobha Realty Training Centre, as were Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko. The fact the four defenders and Ghanaian did not train in north London will be a huge worry for Mikel Arteta, with the Gunners set to welcome Monaco to Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.
Gabriel, Calafiori and Zinchenko missed Sunday's Premier League clash with Fulham, which saw the Gunners drop more points in the title race with the game finishing 1-1. Partey started at right-back while Timber started at left-back, however, and it's unclear at this stage why the duo missed the training session on Tuesday.
Arteta will likely provide an update on the injury front in this afternoon's press conference.
