​Arsenal left-back Tierney trains before Aston Villa clash

Arsenal welcomed two key players to first team training with Bukayo Saka and Kieran Tierney working with their teammates at London Colney in the week.

The duo are likely to be involved against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.

Saka came off against Crystal Palace after a very poor challenge from James McArthur, while Tierney appears to have recovered from minor bruising.

"I am not a betting man and it's down to the doctors and himself to see how he recovers and how he's feeling between today and tomorrow," Arteta told reporters about Saka's fitness during a press conference.

"He's very important and he's shown how important he is for the team."
