Gunners handed major boosts ahead of showdown with French champions
Arsenal will again be without Ben White for tonight’s Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.
White has missed the last two games due to a groin injury and did not take part in training on Monday afternoon. It means that Jurrien Timber will likely start at right-back again and Riccardo Calafiori should play on the other flank.
There had been speculation Calafiori could miss out after appearing to injure his hamstring in the final moments of Saturday’s win over Leicester - but he trained on Monday.
Mikel Arteta may name an unchanged side for the game with PSG at Emirates Stadium, although Gabriel Jesus could come into the team as he started Arsenal’s last Champions League game against Atalanta.
Arsenal will be without captain Martin Odegaard for their match with PSG as he is still out with an ankle injury. Oleksandr Zinchenko is also out with a calf injury and Kieran Tierney is sidelined due to a hamstring issue.
Young goalkeeper Tommy Setford has a hip injury and so 16-year-old Jack Porter could make the bench.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Doubt: Merino
Injured: Odegaard (ankle), Setford (hip), Tierney (hamstring), White (groin), Zinchenko (calf)
