Arsenal handed triple injury boost ahead of facing Spurs in North London Derby

Arsenal have been handed a triple injury boost ahead of the North London Derby.

Unai Emery has been without a number of key defenders during the opening weeks of the season but have given a welcome update on the return dates of the stars.

Hector Bellerin is continuing to recover from a cruciate ligament injury and is said to be progressing well.

With the full-back undergoing on-field rehabilitation at present, the club is hopeful that the Spaniard could return to full training as early as September.

It's a similar timescale for Konstantinos Mavropanos who continues to receive treatment for a groin injury.

The Greek defender has struggled with injuries since arriving in North London but the hope is that he'll be able to put those woes behind him.

There's also good news regarding new signing Kieran Tierney.

The former Celtic star is yet to appear for the Gunners due to a groin injury, however the club have also said that he is aiming to return to full training in September.

The news on the Arsenal trio will be a huge boost for Unai Emery, and while they won't be ready to face Tottenham this weekend, it seems that they won't be too far from a return.
