# Arsenal fans react to injury update

**On Friday, Arsenal provided a new injury and fitness update on Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac, Petr Cech and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Both Monreal and Kolasinac have minor hamstring injuries and will be assessed ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Selhurst Park on Sunday. Cech and Maitland-Niles have now returned to full training. Laurent Koscielny and Dinos Mavropanos are still yet to return to full training. With possibly four new available players for the game, it provides Unai Emery with a lot to think about that Arsenal fans have been discussing.**

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the fans’ thoughts on the update.

Multiple fans feel that Petr Cech should remain on the bench, which would allow Bernd Leno to continue his run in between the sticks.

Other fans are glad to see the return of one of their left-back options, and possibly all three.
