As things stand, Arsenal’s chief injury worry is in regard to Jurrien Timber, who has not played since being forced off with an ankle issue against Everton in March.
Ben White has mostly deputised in his absence so far, with Cristhian Mosquera another option at right-back for Mikel Arteta.
Elsewhere, Mikel Merino is progressing well in his recovery from foot surgery and could presumably yet be fit in time for the final. Captain Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz both returned from knocks in the second leg against Atletico.
Injury woe: Achraf Hakimi is currently sidelined for PSG with a hamstring injury suffered against Bayern Munich
PA
For PSG, their big injury concern is Achraf Hakimi, arguably the world’s best right-back who has been ruled out for a period of weeks after suffering a hamstring injury in the first-leg thriller against Bayern.
Warren Zaire-Emery moved back from midfield to cover the position in the second leg, which worked out well for PSG in terms of his own performance and that of Fabian Ruiz, who was drafted in to join Vitinha and Joao Neves in midfield as a result.
PSG are also currently without second-choice goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who is similarly out for weeks with a thigh injury sustained in training. Youngster Quentin Ndjantou is also still sidelined.
PSG vs Arsenal prediction
It is a fascinating clash of styles as these two sides reunite, 12 months on from their semi-final tie.
PSG’s supreme firepower and swashbuckling attacking philosophy under Luis Enrique will make them the favourites up against an extremely well-drilled and clinical Arsenal team who have yet to lose a single game in this season’s Champions League.
We’re backing PSG to get the job done narrowly as they continue on the path to dynastic greatness, with Arsenal only just coming up short and likely having a first Premier League title for 22 years with which to console themselves.
