Bruno Guimaraes, the Brazilian midfielder signed by Arsenal from Newcastle United this summer, is doubtful for the Premier League opener against newly promoted Coventry City after picking up a minor injury. The player came off at half-time during the Community Shield on August 16. Manager Mikel Arteta has expressed optimism about his recovery without confirming his availability for the match on August 21 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal enter the season as defending champions, having won their opening Premier League fixture in each of the last four seasons. The injury appears minor and Guimaraes should be available shortly, though he may lack match sharpness if he misses the opener.
