Mikel Arteta gives Bruno Guimaraes update after injury scare for new Arsenal star

Bruno Guimaraes is an injury doubt for Arsenal’s Premier League opener against Coventry City on Friday night.

The Brazil international completed his £75million move from Newcastle United earlier this month, featuring against Como in a pre-season friendly before starting in the Community Shield against Manchester City on Sunday.

He came off at half-time at the Principality Stadium and was later spotted wearing an icepack on his leg while sat on the bench.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arteta revealed he was hopeful his midfielder would be passed fit but will be assessed ahead of kick-off.
