White hint, Havertz embarrassment - Three things spotted in Arsenal training ahead of Wolves
Latest Arsenal news with Mikel Arteta preparing his players on the London Colney training pitches ahead of a clash against Wolves
White return hint
Ben White, who Arsenal are hoping to secure with a new contract, missed the win over Burnley due to a muscle injury. However, he has made substitute appearances in their recent victories. In training, White was seen not wearing a bib, while other players, including youngsters, were wearing orange bibs. This could suggest that White will be named in the starting XI.
In the Champions League clash, White was brought on as a substitute and now he could potentially make his first start in a few weeks.
Havertz and Declan Rice were also spotted not wearing bibs, indicating that they are likely to start in the upcoming match.
Havertz embarrassed by Saka
Bukayo Saka was seen playfully imitating Kai Havertz's celebration after the 6-0 win against RC Lens. In training, Havertz tried to press Saka, but the England international had already passed the ball. It appeared that Saka successfully played the ball through Havertz's legs, similar to what Mikel Arteta had done to Martin Odegaard in a previous training drill.
This playful incident highlights the friendly competition between Saka and Havertz in training.
New Gabriel partner in crime
Gabriel Magalhaes has been seen forming close connections with William Saliba and Declan Rice in the past, but it seems that he now has a new partner. In the latest training images, Gabriel was pictured standing close to Saka, with his hands on Saka's shoulders and both players smiling.
This suggests that there is a growing camaraderie between Gabriel and Saka, potentially indicating a strong partnership on the field as well.
