Watch out, Sporting! Arsenal boosted by late returns before Europe | OneFootball

Sporting host Arsenal this Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and the English side’s final training session brought some relevant indications. Mikel Arteta’s team showed positive signs ahead of the trip to Alvalade, and the latest developments could have a direct impact on the clash.

After some fitness concerns in recent weeks, Arsenal saw several players return to training. The situation boosts the English side at a decisive stage of the season, and the proximity of the European showdown increases the importance of those recoveries.

Gabriel Magalhães, Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice trained without limitations and are available for the visit to Sporting’s ground. The Brazilian defender had gone off with a knee complaint, while the England midfielder and the Belgian winger have recovered from recent physical issues.

Despite the good news, Arsenal still have some doubts in the squad. Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino remain out, while Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka are still uncertain. Even so, the latter two could still be included in the squad for the trip to Lisbon.
