Arsenal head coach, Mikel Arteta, confirmed on Monday that his side’s captain, Martin Odegaard and forward Kai Havertz are both available for the return leg of their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Even though both players were absent from the open training on Monday, Arteta confirmed that both players will make it to the selection on Tuesday.
Both goals in the first leg in Madrid came from penalties, with striker Viktor Gyokeres scoring for Arsenal and Julian Alvarez converting for Atletico.
“They are available, both in the squad. Great, because we need options and the capacity to play in the squad,” Arteta told reporters on Monday.
Arsenal, who top the Premier League table with three games remaining, were knocked out at the semi-final stage of the Champions League last season by eventual winners Paris St Germain.
“I can’t wait. I feel the energy in and around the team,” Arteta said.
“Together we have done a lot of work as a club and as a team. They have been waiting a long time to have this kind of night. Something amazing can happen.”
