This is one of the prowess made by Luis Enrique and his staff since their arrival in Paris: while PSG has an appointment this Tuesday in London to compete in its semi-final go from the Champions League against Arsenal, the Parisian group is complete. The infirmary has indeed been hungry for several weeks at the Poissy campus.
The Gunners medical staff has been more busy in recent months. Many players, and not the least, are indeed injured and are forfeits for the double confrontation against the champions of France. And if Parisians appear transformed since their trip to the Emirates Stadium last October, Arsenal will also display another face.
No less than five players present during the group phase match will therefore miss the call. In addition to the precious Thomas Partey, only suspended, the defenders Gabriel Magalhães and Riccardo Calafiori as well as the attackers Kai Havertz, author of the first goal of the Gunners in the fall, and Gabriel Jesus, entered for the last quarter of an hour, are thus on the side.
Two returns expected to face PSG
Mikel Arteta has nevertheless recorded two good news in recent days. While they were absent for the trip to the neighbors of Crystal Palace on Wednesday, the Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, a time announced uncertain for the reception of PSG, should be able to hold his place in the midfield. Another expected return, that of Ben White, who is likely to be in the group.
The probable eleven of Arsenal facing PSG:
Raya-Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Saliba, Timber-Merino, Rice, Ødegaard-Martinelli, Trossard, Saka
