Arsenal completed their last training session in Singapore on Monday before flying to Hong Kong on Tuesday morning. The Gunners will face Tottenham on Thursday, looking to make it a clean sweep of victories on their Asian pre-season tour.

There is much excitement about the match beyond it simply being a North London Derby, as it could be the first time fans get a glimpse of some new summer signings. Viktor Gyokeres and Cristhian Mosquera are both yet to make their impact on the tour but are in line to feature.

Gabriel Magalhaes missing

The concerning outcome from the upload is that there remains no sign of Gabriel Magalhaes. Mikel Arteta confirmed that despite playing 45 minutes against Watford in a behind-closed-doors friendly, the Brazilian had felt a tweak in training while in Asia and has not featured since.

The fact he could not be seen with the side on Monday’s session will come as something of a concern to supporters. With less than three weeks until the start of the new season at Old Trafford, Gabriel’s absence in addition to Calafiori – who was spotted but only watching from the sidelines, raises some questions. Jakub Kiwior would be the obvious replacement.

Jurrien Timber boost

Like Gabriel, Jurrien Timber has also been unable to take part in any matches so far. Still recovering from an ankle procedure that was undertaken at the end of the previous campaign, the Dutchman has been replaced in the team by Benjamin White and Josh Nichols for matches.
