Arsenal boss Emery welcomes back defensive trio: Great moment

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is delighted to see their medical room clearing.

For their Carabao Cup win over Nottingham Forest, Emery welcomed Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding back into first-team - while Kieran Tierney made his debut.

All three made a big impression as we beat Nottingham Forest - and Unai Emery praised the trio and believes they will make a big impact.

"It's amazing news," the head coach said. "It was amazing to see the people's reaction to Rob Holding, Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin, who played his first 15 minutes [at the end].

"It was a great moment. We can be a better competitive team with them. For us having every player available is the perfect moment.

"Now we have two injuries with Lacazette and Smith Rowe, and hopefully in a few weeks he can be training with the possibility to play. Really we are really happy with Hector, Rob and Kieran."
