Mikel Arteta has updated the fitness status of his squad ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg with Paris Saint-Germain.

Riccardo Calafiori has missed our last ten matches after injuring his knee while on international duty in March, but the boss had positive news on the Italian in his pre-match press conference.

He said: "He's travelled, and he's fit and he's ready to play when we need him. So that's great news obviously."

Jurrien Timber was not involved at all at the weekend for our game against Bournemouth, but has also travelled with the group, and the manager added: "We will assess him today, whether he can start the game or not.
