Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber has reportedly played in a behind-closed-doors friendly.
The Dutchman completed first-team training on Wednesday and is available for selection when the Gunners take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final today.
Timber had been out of action since March after sustaining a groin injury against Everton at the Emirates Stadium but is now fully fit.
It is unknown when the behind-closed-doors friendly took place, but it likely happened this week.
Arsenal need Timber in their defence to keep PSG attacker Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in check, and he could start the game.
The Gunners head into the game as Premier League champions and will fancy their chances of winning their first-ever European title.
Having Timber available is a huge boost and manager Mikel Arteta has to get his tactical decisions right.
He is coming up against an experienced manager in Luis Enrique, and PSG also have some of the best players on the planet.
Arsenal have an excellent defensive record this season, but everyone across the pitch has to step up at the Puskas Arena.
PSG are defending champions and favourites after beating Inter Milan 5-0 in last season’s final.
However, Arsenal have what it takes to beat them and will be desperate to make history.
