After missing the match against Crystal Palace due to physical issues, Fabio Vieira can take a look at his Premier League debut on Saturday, against Leicester. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta confirmed that the Portuguese midfielder trained all week and left the door open to the possibility of joining the squad.
After a preliminary season marked by physical problems, Arteta was asked when fans would see the best Fabio Vieira. The London coach highlighted the Portuguese international’s under-21 player’s ability to work.
“I don’t know, it’s a complicated question to answer now. It may not take any time and it will start to appear. It will depend on who he is playing with, how the games are going and how he adapts. What I can say is that he is doing his best to reduce the time of this process”, he explained.
When asked about the best position to use Fábio Vieira, Arteta left the answer to the player.
“I think that’s something the player will tell us. We will test it in different locations, he was on the left, on the right, as a false striker, an attacking midfielder. It’s good, he doesn’t want to be a player in only one position and that’s very positive for us.” “.
