Arteta reveals the two Arsenal players that are doubts for game against PSG

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has cast doubt over the availability of two key players for their crucial Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Left-back, Calafiori, and defender, Ben White, are both facing a late fitness test ahead of the highly anticipated match at the Emirates Stadium.

According to journalist Simon Collings, Arteta confirmed that the duo’s participation will be assessed on the day of the game. “We will see how Calafiori and White are today before deciding if they will play tomorrow,” Arteta said, hinting at the uncertainty surrounding their fitness.

This news comes as a potential concern for Arsenal, who are already dealing with the absence of key midfielders Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino due to injury.

Calafiori’s potential absence could leave Arsenal vulnerable defensively on the left flank, while White’s absence would likely disrupt the team’s backline. Both players have been vital components of Arsenal’s defensive stability this season.

Arteta will be hoping that both players can prove their fitness in time for the match. If they are ruled out, it will force the manager to rely on other players to fill the gaps. The Gunners will be hoping for a strong performance against PSG, despite the potential absence of these two key players. The result of this encounter will have significant implications for Arsenal’s chances of progressing in the Champions League.

The match against PSG promises to be a tense affair, and the outcome will depend heavily on Arsenal’s ability to overcome their injury concerns and deliver a strong performance.
