Arsenal will hope to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they head to West Ham United in the Premier League.
The Gunners dropped two points at Liverpool last week, shortening the gap at the summit to six points.
In addition, Manchester City have a game in hand and next play on Saturday evening.
Arsenal will therefore need to be fully focused and at their best away at an improving Hammers side.
On Tuesday, the Gunners media team shared a gallery of pictures from training at London Colney.
Arsenal youth team midfielder Mauro Bandeira was spotted taking part in the session.
‘All-action midfielder’
Bandeira is a 19-year-old midfielder who joined the Arsenal setup from Queens’ Park Rangers in 2019.
He is currently playing for the Under-21s, with 18 Premier League 2 appearances this season.
Bandeira has registered two goals and two assists in the competition.
He has also made three EFL Trophy outings this term, registering one assist.
Furthermore, Bandeira made the bench for Arsenal’s Europa League first-leg against Sporting CP.
Arsenal youth team expert Jeorge Bird has described him as an “all-action midfielder”.
He also said Bandeira is “capable of making an impact both in an attacking sense and defensively”.
Some Gunners fans on Twitter have tipped the midfielder for great things in future.
One predicted that he’ll be an “amazing” player and another called him “the next baller”.
It’s always great to see academy players get a chance to impress the first-team coaches and players in training.
Bandeira is yet to make his senior Arsenal debut, but Mikel Arteta certainly seems to rate him highly.
If everything goes well this season, we might even get to see him get a few minutes at the end of the campaign.
