by Bukayo Saka is prepared for his first start in more than three months when Arsenal Real Madrid organizes in the quarter -finals of the Champions League in the Emirates Stadium in the quarter -finals of the Champions League.
Saka returned from his thigh injury last week with two replacement appearances against Fulham and Everton.
And asked if he was ready to start against Real Madrid, and said Saka: “Yes, but there is only one way to find out!”
Arsenal has no fresh injury concerns from her 1-1 draw in Everton on Saturday, with Mikel Merino being fine after cutting his head.
Ben White was able to get through 60 minutes in Goodison Park and started a game for the first time since November, and he was able to get the nod when Mikel Areteta rejects a big decision in the Arsenal defense.
Gabriel is traveling with a thigh injury that will force him to miss the rest of the season.
It means that Areta could turn to white if he decides not to play Jakub Kiwior in Center-Back alongside William Saliba.
Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey should be Arsenal’s midfield trio. Odegaard and Party were both named on the bench in Everton.
Merino can lead the line again during the attack, although Leandro Trossard is an option at the weekend after the start and hit against Everton.
Raheem Sterling is suspended.
