Not very reassuring … four days to go to Paris to compete in his semi-final return from the Champions League (PSG 0-1 victory on the outward journey), Arsenal lost in the Premier League, at home, against Bournemouth (1-2).
Beyond the defeat, the Gunners recorded a new injured person. It is Jurrien Timber, who has not been able to play against the Cherries. After the meeting, Mikel Arteta was not optimistic about the presence of his Dutch defender against Paris Saint-Germain.
“” For the moment I am not confident (on his presence Wednesday). Today he was unable to play and we replay in four days. I can't tell you more
“Said the Spanish coach at the post-match press conference.
Wounded massacre and a return of suspension
A package which, if it were to be confirmed, would be a new blow for the Londoners, already deprived of many elements. Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori, all injured, will not play in Paris.
On the other hand, Mikel Arteta can count on the return of suspension of Thomas Partey. The latter lacked a lot at the Gunners on the outward journey.
