Arsenal confronts a significant challenge against Villa
Arsenal is experiencing a tense wait concerning the health of Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori prior to their Premier League match against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Currently, the Gunners hold the top position in the standings with a narrow two-point advantage over Manchester City. They sit three points ahead of the Villans, who they will host at the Emirates in a few days. Leading up to the match, the club is anxiously awaiting updates on the condition of Timber and Calafiori, both of whom were sidelined during the 2-1 Premier League victory over Brighton & Hove Albion because of injuries. Timber was unavailable after an awkward fall in training prior to the match, while Calafiori sustained a minor muscle injury. Although he was included in the starting XI, he was replaced during the warm-up. The two players are set to be evaluated in the next 24 hours, and it remains uncertain whether they will be fit to play against the Villans.
