Arsenal wants to make the Champions League final on Thursday while they travel to France to take Ligue 1 Giants Paris Saint-Germain, but they will have to do it without a few important stars
Arsenal could be without a maximum of six important players for their decisive Champions League confrontation with Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners travel to the French capital on Wednesday evening while watching a place in the final of the Champions League.
And it will take a comeback from the side of North Londs to book their place after the goal of Ousmane Dembele in Noord -Londen. And the idea of ​​Mikel Arteta will have to do without a large number of important stars.
As it looks now, five Arsenal players are limited to the sidelines and do not play in Paris. Gabriel Magalhaes is out with a hamstring injury, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is struggling with a knee injury.
The Italian midfielder Jorginho has picked up a rib injury, with Forward Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus both reigned with long-term hamstring and knee injuries respectively. Arteta gave an update on the issues that he was confronted with for the trip to Paris, and revealed Jurrien Timber to a late evaluation, while Riccardo Calafiori was great to return.
Arteta spoke about Timber's opportunities to play during his press conference before the game: “We will decide tomorrow.” At Calafiori he added: “He is trained and is fit and ready to play when we need him.”
While Arteta has a number of headaches to overcome, Luis Enrique also has one or two problems that are at the front of his thoughts before he starts. PSG is currently without the services of the French defender Presnel Kimpembe and possibly playmaker Lee Kang – in – although the latter could still make the bank.
But in better news for the French giants, they will have Star Forward Ousmane Dembele available. The 33-target wing missed the defeat of the weekend for Strasbourg away from home, but is great to return on Wednesday evening.
“He has been training with us for the past two days,” said Enrique. “You saw him on Tuesday – a normal training session for him. He will be available on Wednesday.”
Arsenal already knows the side they will take in the final when they have found a route past PSG. Inter Milan became the first side to secure their place after beating Barcelona with 7-6 aggregated in an exciting semi-final.

Arsenal's task in the bow said Arteta: “Very enthusiasm, enormous energy. We are a victory away from being in the Champions League final, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world against a big opponent – it is not much better than that.
“We are here to write history, and we have a big chance tomorrow. We bring a result that gives us so much clarity about what we should do. Learn a lot from the first stage, and how small the margins are between the two teams.
“In my opinion, the result should have been very different from that. So tomorrow another chance to prove that and earn the right to be in the final.”
