Rob Holding posted on his Instagram story that he is ‘so happy’ for Mohamed Elneny after he returned to Arsenal training following a knee injury.
Arsenal posted on their official Twitter account that Mohamed Elneny is ‘back on the grass, back running’ after being on the sidelines since January.
This news was music to the ears of Rob Holding, who couldn’t contain his delight on his own socials.
Given that Elneny is only back out running, then it’s highly doubtful that the £50k-a-week star (Spotrac) will be back on the pitch before the final ball is kicked at the end of May.
But, for the player himself, and his teammates, they are delighted with this news, with Holding posting the following response on his IG story.
“Great to see @elnennym back outside,” wrote a delighted Holding. “So happy for him,” added with a raised hands and heart emoji.
ARTETA’S CHANGE IN MIDFIELD
The Premier League title race is still on following Arsenal’s crucial 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Sunday, which saw Mikel Arteta make some huge calls.
One of them involved dropping his star defensive midfielder Thomas Partey for the experienced head of Jorginho, who won the Man of the Match award at St James’ Park.
It was a masterclass in how to play out from the back and pick your passes in such a hostile and pressure-cooker of an environment from the Italy international.
