Arsenal boss Arteta delivers update on Vieira and Tomiyasu

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu are battling to be fit for the start of the Premier League season.

Arteta delivered an update on the recovering pair after victory over Chelsea in Florida.

He said, "Yeah, Tomi us really close to start doing some training sessions. Hopefully next week and Fabio probably a little bit longer.

"I think he needs another week or so before he starts with the team but he's been working hard and he's been really unlucky to start his Arsenal career in this way but again he's fitting in well."

Arteta also delivered an update on Gabriel Jesus: "Yeah he got a knock in the first half in his quad I think it was and it wasn't very comfortable to continue and onvioulsy we didn't take any risks today."
