Three Arsenal star not involved in team training today ahead of RC Lens clash - As Mikel Artete set to punish them 👇
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been putting his players through their paces ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League encounter with Lens.
The Gunners trained on Tuesday and, in terms of player updates, journalist James Benga had a slightly concerning updates to share.
Benge took to X on Tuesday afternoon to initially report that that Ben White could not be spotted in training. Likewise, Fabio Vieira wasn’t involved.
A few minutes later, he took to the social media platform again to say White had arrived, but would be working on his own with his own fitness coach.
White came on as a substitute in Saturday’s narrow Premier League win over Brentford following an injury scare.

Last week, football.london reported that he had been ‘struggling with a muscle injury’ and faced a late fitness test ahead of Arsenal’s trip to West London on Saturday.
However, Arteta went on to play down the issue in his pre-match press conference.

“Again, hopefully if he’s available to train today, he will be available to play,” he told the Arsenal media team on Friday.
“It’s a question mark to be resolved in the next few hours.”
Worrying news ahead of big Champions League clash for Arsenal
White has been an ever-present in the Arsenal backline since joining the club for a fee reported to be £50million back in 2021.
He has already made over a century of appearances for the Gunners, both as a centre-back and as a right-back.
It looked as though White had shaken off his issue when he came on against the Bees, but the fact he’s now reportedly training on his own is concerning.
Arsenal need just one more point to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League as they welcome Lens to the Emirates Stadium.
Considering the Gunners lost their last encounter against the French side, they’ll want to make amends and also get over the line in Europe’s premier club competition.
