Manager Jonas Eidevall has confirmed that Arsenal will have England forward Beth Mead available for selection for their clash with title rivals Manchester United.
The Gunners, who will be going for a 15th straight victory in the WSL, are three points clear of the visitors as two of the top three collide at the Emirates on Saturday. Mead was a doubt after withdrawing from the Lionesses squad last weekend due to 'family circumstances', following her appearance in England's 4-0 win over Japan.
The news is a huge boost for Eidevall who will also have Vivianne Miedema available for selection, following a leave of absence, as they look to overwhelm United with firepower. Mead was subject of discussion before her withdrawal from the Lionesses squad after she was quoted in a recent interview, that the lack of diversity in the England team was 'coincidental'.
