Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney are now both fully fit for Arsenal, according to Football London.

Tierney and Kolasinac had both been sidelined prior to the break in action, with the pair both suffering with injuries.

However, the time off has given the Arsenal duo time to recover, and they could now feature from the get-go when the season returns in under two weeks.

Arsenal actually are due to play Manchester City on June 17th, and it seems that Mikel Arteta could have near enough a fully fit squad to pick from.

Kolasinac’s and Tierney’s recoveries are good news for Arsenal, as the pair strengthen Arteta’s options at left-back considerably.

It remains to be seen if either of them walk straight back into Arsenal’s line-up though.

Bukayo Saka has excelled at left-back in their absence, but the youngster is even more comfortable in a more advanced position, and it could be that Arteta plays the 18-year-old as a left-winger now his options at full-back have improved.
