“He’s still the most important component of the season and we have to be patient, he’ll get his chances. “
Mikel Arteta has given an update on Fabio Vieira’s recovery and hopes to be able to sign for the squad soon.

The academy product, 23, has only begun one Prem match this term, coming off the bench just five times, also suffering a knee injury.
Arsenal reportedly turned down an offer from Chelsea in the most recent move window, with Newcastle also saying they are enthusiastic.
