Arsenal released their latest team news on the club’s official website on Thursday ahead of their first home clash of the season against Burnley.
The Gunners gave updates on six first-team stars, with Hector Bellerin, Kieran Tierney and Dinos Mavropanos all expecting to return to first-team training in October.
There was also updates on Granit Xhaka, Rob Holding and Emile Smith Rowe.
Xhaka is being assessed ahead of the visit of the Clarets, while Holding is now participating in full training following a knee problem.
Young midfielder Smith Rowe is also looking to return to training in a few weeks following a groin problem.
And these Arsenal fans were quick to react to the news on social media, with many voicing their opinion on Bellerin, Tierney and Mavropanos’ absence until October.

There could be some hidden good news in the latest update. There was no sign of Alexandre Lacazette or Nicolas Pepe in the report, which could mean the pair are ready to link up with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a formidable front three, which is an extremely exciting prospect.
Of course the news about Bellerin, Tierney and Mavropanos is disappointing, especially with Tierney, however, with Sead Kolasinac returning to training, there isn’t a shortage of left-back options.
