Arsenal need to consider replacing my injured player for the match against Sporting Lisbon!

During a press conference held ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League quarterfinal clash with Sporting, manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on his squad’s fitness levels—naming which players are fit to feature in tomorrow’s match and which ones remain sidelined.

According to Arteta, while a number of key figures are back and available, two important names will still be missing from the lineup. He confirmed that Gabriel Magalhães and Declan Rice are both ready to play. Leandro Trossard could also be in contention.

However, the news wasn’t all positive. “Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber have issues. They're not ready yet. We'll see. Hopefully, if everything goes well, they'll be fit by the weekend,” Arteta explained.

So far this season, Saka has made 42 appearances for Arsenal, finding the net nine times and providing seven assists. Timber, meanwhile, has featured in 43 matches across all competitions, scoring four goals and contributing seven assists of his own.
