Fans react as Holding prepares to declare himself fully fit
Arsenal defender Rob Holding is ready to give Unai Emery a major boost by declaring himself fully fit.
According to the Daily Mail’s Sami Mokbel, as cited by @afcstuff, the player is ‘hopeful’ about playing against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League later this week.
It’s a timely boost for the Gunners after their shoddy defensive display against Watford and it has left these Arsenal fans on social media delighted.

It tells you something about the position that Arsenal find themselves when these fans aren’t sure if Franco Baresi in his prime would solve their problems!
Holding’s return will be a major boost for the Gunners and if he can get himself up to speed in the Europa League, many will fancy his chances of nailing down a regular space in the Premier League side.
Both David Luiz and Sokratis were at fault for Watford’s goals on Sunday, so now Unai Emery has a decision to make about which of the two could drop out.
The young English defender may not be at Baresi’s level just yet, but supporters will be hoping for an immediate improvement at the back.
