Arsenal’s injury picture looks more encouraging than feared before Atletico Madrid, with several key players involved in open training ahead of the semi-final first leg.
Against Newcastle, Arsenal lost both Kai Havertz and Ebere Eze to injury while Gabriel Martinelli was seen fussing with his hamstring.
It looked ominous with Atletico Madrid on the horizon.
However, at Arsenal’s open training session both Eze and Martinelli were with the group.
Riccardo Calafiori, who has missed the last four games, was also spotted.
Havertz, however, was not, but there is optimism the groin problem he picked up will not keep him out for long.
There is still no sign of Jurrien Timber.
Bukayo Saka, who returned against Newcastle from his own injury problems has thankfully not suffered any negative effects.
Mikel Merino is, as we know, out and unlikely to return before the end of the season with Spanish reports consistent in claiming his World Cup is in doubt.
