For their last training before PSG/Arsenal, the Gunners trained this Tuesday early in the afternoon in London and only 5 players from Mikel Arteta were absent. The Spaniard notably recovers two defenders.
With seven absent in the first leg, including Thomas Party Who was suspended, Arsenal was sharply reduced against PSG last Tuesday during his semi-final go to Champions League and Mikel Arteta did not fail to remind him several times in the media since the 1-0 defeat of his team. For this PSG/Arsenal return match at the Parc des Princes, the Spanish coach will have fewer absent this time.
Odegaard and Timber in training before PSG/Arsenal
Thomas Partey is indeed no longer suspended and will even be normally titular on Wednesday evening while two important and uncertain players in recent days have trained this afternoon in the Sobha Realty Training Center this Tuesday afternoon, the London club training center. This is Martin Odegaardwho had finished the match last Saturday against Bournemouth by boxing, and Jurriën Timberwhich was forfeited against the Cherries after having received a big blow against PSG a few days earlier.
Mikel Arteta had also shown himself quite pessimistic about him last Saturday after the defeat of his team against Bournemouth, but the Dutch right side participated in the day of the Gunners, like his Norwegian captain. Timber has a good chance of playing on Wednesday evening, even if it is not necessary to rule out a tenure of Ben White, also present this Tuesday in training.
-Calafiori back a month and a half after
But the big news on the Arsenal side is the return to Riccardo collective training Calafioriwhich has been absent since March 20 and a knee injury contracted with Italy. Holder last October against PSG as the left side, the versatile Italian defender was forfeited last Tuesday, but could therefore make a comeback in the London group this Wednesday. He will not necessarily be a holder, however, since the young Myles Lewis-Skelly has perfectly filled his absence.
For this PSG/Arsenal, Arteta will only have only 5 absent players, all the injured in the first leg (with the exception of Calafiori). It is the Brazilian central defender Gabriel Magalhãesfrom the Brazilian striker Gabriel JesusJapanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasuof the Italian-Brazilian defensive midfielder Jorginho and the German striker Kai Havertz.
On the PSG side, Luis Enrique was able to count this Tuesday on Ousmane Dembelé and lee Kang-in in training and both should appear in the group. Only Presnel Chanterzeinjured, lacking the call on the Parisian side. Finally, note that no player is suspended for this PSG/Arsenal.
