Spanish Guns in tour KO
Posted Sunday, June 30, 2013 by The Sun
SANTI CAZORLA and Nacho Monreal will miss Arsenal’s tour of the Far East — and could struggle to start the Premier League season.
The Spaniards have been given extra time off by boss Arsene Wenger because they featured in the Confederations Cup in Brazil, which finishes tonight with Spain’s final against the hosts.
The rest of Arsenal’s players report to training on Thursday before flying out the following week for a four-game tour of Asia.
But Cazorla and Monreal will not have to report until early August.
Cazorla faced Uruguay and Tahiti while Monreal appeared just once, in the 10-0 thrashing of Tahiti.
After the Asian tour, Arsenal meet Napoli and Galatasaray on August 3 and 4 and these games could come too early for Cazorla and Monreal.
It remains unlikely they will be fit enough for the League opener against Aston Villa on August 17.
