Beaten 1-0 to go to the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal goes to Paris with the ambition to overthrow the PSG on its lawn. And on the eve of the long -awaited shock, the news from the English camp is rather reassuring for Mikel Arteta. The Spanish technician will undoubtedly be able to count on three major reinforcements to try the feat at the Parc des Princes.
Martin Ödegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori all took part in collective training this Tuesday morning. Images captured during the session show a concentrated, united, and above all reinforced group. If Timber remains uncertain after his absence against Bournemouth, the Norwegian captain already seems ready to hold his rank. Wounded at the foot on Saturday, Ödegaard reassured everyone with complete participation in the session. As for Calafiori, he returns from a long knee injury but postulates for a place on the match sheet.
On the eve of the most important match in his season, Mikel Arteta therefore finds precious ammunition. The potential presence of these three elements could give back to a team hit morally by the reverse of the first leg. The Gunners coach, who will speak this Wednesday at a press conference on Wednesday, could reserve a few surprises in his starting eleven.
Three feedback that changes the game for this PSG – Arsenal?
On the Parisian side, Luis Enrique can also count on Ousmane Dembélé, decisive scorer in the first leg, given from his muscle discomfort. The French winger was spared against Strasbourg but appears well in the group for the shock on Wednesday.
With two teams close to their full potential, this return semi-final promises to be electric. Arsenal wants to believe in its European destiny. And with these last-minute reinforcements, hope may perhaps change camp.
