Arsenal enjoyed a brilliant Thursday in the Europa League with a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, and things got even better for the Gunners faithful following the final whistle.
Goals from Joe Willock, Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sealed an impressive win for Unai Emery’s side, and the Spaniard revealed that star full-backs Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney will feature for the Under-23 side against Wolves on Friday night as they continue their recovery from long-term injury problems.
Bellerin hasn’t featured since January after suffering a serious knee injury, while new signing Tierney is yet to make his debut due to a groin issue.
And these Arsenal supporters couldn’t hide their excitement to Emery’s comments.

Read Arsenal verdict
The pair weren’t expected to return to training before October, so this latest news comes as a major boost to the Gunners.
Emery will have to be patient with easing the duo back into the first-team fold, however, when they are both fully fit, it will come as no surprise to see them quickly becoming first-choice on both defensive flanks.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac have been turning out at right-back and left-back respectively in recent weeks, but it seems as though Arsenal fans may not have to wait too much longer until they can enjoy watching Bellerin and Tierney at the Emirates.
