“Lucas Chevalier also needs optimism. Luis Enrique will manage the workload of the players in the upcoming games. Some of the starters returned from Munich with minor injuries, but nothing serious.

Can Arsenal beat PSG in the Champions League final?
Arsenal will definitely be the underdog against the reigning European champions, especially as they have been extremely unlucky with injuries this season.
PSG have a less demanding schedule and are expected to have everyone available for this important game, but Arsenal still have some very important games in the Premier League title race ahead of them.
Julian Timber and Mikel Merino are currently sidelined, with other big names such as Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafioli also having intermittent problems throughout the season.
Mikel Arteta certainly needs as many options as possible if he is to stand any chance of an upset against PSG later this month.
