da fazobetai: Arsenal are confident that Aaron Ramsey will be fit to play against Newcastle United after an injury scare on international duty, per the London Evening Standard.
The Gunners star sustained a thigh injury in Wales training, leaving him absent from his side’s Euro 2020 qualifier against Slovakia.
What’s the word?
Ramsey withdrew from Ryan Giggs’ squad before their 1-0 win over Slovakia on Saturday.
The report claims that the midfielder has already returned to his club for treatment and could be fit to feature against the Magpies.
Arsenal are hopeful that he has merely sustained tightness in his thigh instead of a tear or a strain.
Unai Emery’s men face the Magpies on Monday evening and are currently in Dubai for warm-weather training.
They face Al-Nasr in a friendly on Tuesday but Ramsey will certainly be absent from that game.
A timely boost
Ramsey has been in exceptional form for Arsenal in recent weeks, reminding the club of his abilities ahead of his move to Juventus in the summer.
The 28-year-old has scored four goals and laid on eight assists in 2018-19 and may well be needed to down the Magpies.
Rafael Benitez’s men have lost just one of their last five outings, beating the likes of Everton and Burnley.
They sit seven points clear of the relegation zone and are mightily close to confirming their Premier League status for another campaign.
A win over Arsenal would be both a scalp and a major boost; Emery having Ramsey back helps to eliminate that possibility.
