Riccardo Calafiori

Calafiori is still recovering from a knee injury that he suffered during the last international break during a game for the Italy national team.

Arteta provided an update on the defender last weekend, he said: “‘If everything goes well, I think [he will be back for PSG]. Maybe a little bit earlier, so let’s see.

“He’s on the pitch already, he’s done quite a lot of stuff, and we just need to make the right steps now to make sure that when he’s back, he’s in a good place to perform.”

Expected return date – Tuesday 29 April vs PSG

Jorginho

Fellow Italian Jorginho is unlikely to be back for the PSG game, after he suffered some form of chest issue which caused him to have difficulty breathing.

He is looking at a return in mid-May for Arsenal, which means that he will likely miss both legs against PSG in the Champions League semi-final.

Expected return date – Sunday 11 May vs Liverpool
