Arsenal release injury updates on Lacazette, Luiz and Tierney ahead of Newcastle game

Arsenal will on Sunday face Newcastle United at St. James Park Stadium and this will be a perfect opportunity for the gunners to try to regain their spirits ahead of their biggest game of the season. The gunners have released their latest team news ahead of the game against Newcastle United with updates on the injuries of Alexandre Lacazette, David Luiz and Kieran Tierney.

1. DAVID LUIZ

David Luiz has been on the sidelines for weeks now and the gunners have missed him in their previous matches as he is usually their best player when it comes to playing out of the back and is also a great extra creativity source with his long balls that can sometimes set up Mikel Arteta’s fast attackers.
