Arsenal injury news: Gunners handed double boost ahead of second-leg showdown with Real Madrid | OneFootball

Arsenal duo Thomas Partey and Ben White both took part in team training ahead of their side’s Champions League quarter-final second-leg with Real Madrid.

Partey was forced off with a knock in the draw with Brentford but was with the rest of his team-mates as Arsenal trained in front of the cameras before travelling to Madrid.

White, meanwhile, was left out of the squad altogether for the Brentford clash after picking up an injury in training.

But he too was part of the open training session and looks set to return to the squad against Madrid.

Jorginho, however, is set to miss the game after also being forced off against Brentford late on.

Long-term absentees Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu also remain sidelined.

Riccardo Calafiori is also recovering from the knee injury he suffered while on international duty with Italy.

Arsenal hold a 3-0 lead over Real Madrid following their first-leg victory, when Declan Rice twice scored direct from free-kicks before Mikel Merino added a third.

After the draw with Brentford, Partey insisted Arsenal would not sit back and defend and would play in the same way they did at the Emirates.

“Well I think it’s going to be one of the biggest games (for Arsenal) with the situation and the mentality and the need we have,” he said.

“I think we have to be confident, we have to go there and play our game and try to win.

“It’s very difficult, it’s not going to be easy, we know how good they are and the quality they have from back to front so as I said we have to be confident to play our game and try to win.

“We have confidence in our game. We’ve been playing the whole season and I don’t think it will be different we just have to be confident to get the ball from them and keep the ball and try to attack them.”
