Mikel Arteta knows Arsenal must accept the reality of their injury problems and learn to deal with them ahead of their Champions League meeting with Monaco.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have been hampered by injuries throughout this season, and they have concerns over Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko ahead of Wednesday\u2019s match at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

Fellow defenders Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are already sidelined, while Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey also missed training on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday, failing to make up ground on pacesetters Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Arteta, though, says they cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves, telling reporters: \u201cIt is what it is. We need to accept the reality and move forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to manage a lot of the players. Some of them probably aren\u2019t going to be fit. Some are still a doubt. We have 24 hours to make decisions, hopefully the right ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

In more positive news, Kieran Tierney \u2013 who is back in training after six months out with a hamstring injury \u2013 could make his first European appearance for Arsenal since November 2022, with Arteta pleased with the left-back\u2019s determination.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s ready and training really well and he\u2019s going to have an opportunity for sure, the way the team is looking at the moment,\u201d he said of Tierney, who spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going to do that for that reason and because he\u2019s earned it. The way he\u2019s behaved, the way he\u2019s been with us, he\u2019s willing to do it. When that happens you have to give opportunities to those kinds of players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arsenal are seventh in the Champions League standings, only ahead of Monaco \u2013 who began their campaign by upsetting Barcelona \u2013 by virtue of their superior goal difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really impressed. You see the run that they\u2019ve been on in the Champions League. They\u2019re a real threat with a lot of qualities,\u201d Arteta said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
