Impact Soares started the midweek Cup match and it looks like he tested positive within the past few days. That being the case, he won't be an option again until January.

Two starts to open season Soares has started two of Arsenal's opening three games to begin the new season.

Impact Soares missed the Gunner's opening loss to Brentford but was back in the side for their matches against Chelsea and Manchester City. With Hector Bellerin leaving the club for the season, Soares could be the preferred right back if Arsenal operate in a back four set up.

Finishes season on bench Soares was left on the bench for the final nine league and UEL matches in the 2020/21 season.

Impact Soares arrived from Southampton halfway through last season but hasn't been much more than a rotation defender since joining Arsenal. With Kieran Tierney firmly in control of the starting job at left-back, Soares may be considering his options elsewhere if he's not content with playing second-fiddle for another year.
