Injured trio spotted in attendance at Arsenal match
Arsenal’s Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney, and Tommy Setford are all currently absent through injury, but the trio were in attendance for Saturday’s game against Leicester City.
Though all three are out of action due to injury, Arsenal defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney and Arsenal goalkeeper Tommy Setford could all be seen sitting just behind the Gunners bench during Saturday’s match against Leicester City.
Arsenal Japan shared a clip of the trio watching on, adding that Tomiyasu and Tierney were chatting happily and seemed to be getting on well.

There has been some encouraging news on both Tomiyasu and Tierney in the last week or two, with the two players returning to partial training with Arsenal.
Neither appear to be ready for full training just yet, but it’s likely only a matter of time until they can take that step now.
As for Setford, there hasn’t been much news on his situation, as you might expect for an 18-year-old third-choice goalkeeper.
Whatever problem he has came at a frustrating time, as he may have had a chance to debut against Bolton if he’d been fit. He’ll be aiming for a comeback before the Preston North End match now.
Alexei Rojas can also be seen in the clip, after his inclusion on the bench for Arsenal’s midweek game against Bolton Wanderers.
The 19-year-old goalkeeper has been around first-team training on a regular basis for the last couple of weeks, and it seems he was selected to remain with the senior squad for Saturday’s game.
