Arsenal have been handed a double injury boost with midfielders Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira anticipated to return for the London derby against Crystal Palace in the Premier League this month.
Partey has been on the sidelines since mid-November with a thigh problem, but he is on the verge of a comeback. He could make the matchday squad against the Eagles on January 20.
Vieira has also made good recovery after a groin surgery in late November. The Portuguese was spotted in today's training session in Dubai where the club are stationed at the moment.
The return of the duo is a huge boost for the Gunners, who have lost their last three games across all competitions. They need to return to winning ways against Palace this month.
Arsenal are currently fourth in the league standings with 40 points, five behind leaders Liverpool. They can ill-avoid any more slip-ups as they aim to challenge for the league title.
