Mikel Arteta is likely to have the luxury of freshening up his Arsenal side for Thursday night's Europa League decider against Sporting CP.
With the round of 16 tie delicately poised after a 2-2 draw in the first leg last week, the Spaniard will be well aware that a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium won't be enough for progression as a result of the away goals rule being abolished, therefore only victory will confirm a place in the quarter-final.
Considering the Gunners must score it's a massive boost that Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard are fit and available for selection again. The pair missed out in Lisbon and their absences along with Eddie Nketiah was highlighted by Arteta after the game: "We lost a bit of threat today with the four players we’re missing in our front line," he said in the post-match press conference.
