Arsenal to avoid triple injury blow for Wolves visit amid Benjamin White training update

Benjamin White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Emile Smith Rowe's apparent absences from Arsenal training ahead of facing Wolves has prompted cause for concern amongst supporters.

After making a substitute appearance in the reverse meeting with Wolves earlier in the month, the latter has been in contention to start on Thursday night following his goal against Brentford at the weekend.

Benefiting from Gabriel Martinelli 's suspension, Smith Rowe certainly gave Gunners manager Mikel Arteta somewhat of a selection headache with the perfect impact at the Emirates Stadium.

However, there's a growing fear among some Arsenal fans on social media that the England international won't even be available for selection as he was not spotted in Wednesday's training pictures or the 'behind the scenes' video that was uploaded to the club's official YouTube account.

In addition, to Smith Rowe not being involved, supporters noticed that White and Tomiyasu weren't in the training video either, thus prompting even more of a panic.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...

@OlisaOsega said: "Watched Arsenal’s yesterday’s training session and Emile Smith Rowe wasn’t seen, what’s going on?"

@RoweProp3 said: "Smith Rowe wasn't in Training."

@TikiTakaConnor said: "I couldn’t see any images of ESR in the latest batch of training pictures posted today."

@fartooeasy said: "In the training video at Colney on @Arsenal there is no Tomiyasu and neither ESR.2

@kdineshansen said: "Tomiyasu, ESR and White not in training."

With that said, these Arsenal fans' fears should be allayed regarding a potential triple injury blow ahead of the Wolves clash.

Firstly, upon closer inspection of training images, White was involved in Wednesday's training session as he can be seen looking on as the likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka were celebrating.

Furthermore, the central defender posted two images on his Instagram Stories of him taking part in the final session at London Colney.

And secondly, Arteta has already revealed there are no fresh injury concerns.

"No, at the moment, it’s all at it was last week," the Spaniard confirmed during his pre-match press conference.

As a result, just because Smith Rowe and Tomiyasu weren't spotted in the latest training pictures does not necessarily mean that they will not be available for selection against Wolves.
