Jurriën Timber

Analysis: Timber has been included in the squad after being deemed fit following the ankle issue, with manager Mikel Arteta opting for a cautious approach by keeping him among the substitutes for the biggest game of the season despite his near ever-present status when available, having featured in the starting XI in 34 of his 37 appearances across the Premier League and Champions League this term. His presence on the bench nonetheless offers coach Mikel Arteta a versatile and experienced option capable of operating across right-back and central defense, with his fitness ahead of the World Cup with the Netherlands in June also a significant factor in managing his involvement carefully.

Fit to start UCL final

Timber (ankle) has been deemed fit to start Saturday's UEFA Champions League final against PSG, according to manager Mikel Arteta.

Analysis: Timber has been a regular starter when available for the Gunners this season, as he's featured in the XI in 34 of his 37 appearances between the Premier League and the Champions League. It wouldn't be surprising if Timber gets the nod at right-back Saturday, as the other natural option, Ben White, is out due to a knee injury. Timber has one goal, one assist, seven chances created, six crosses, 13 tackles and seven clearances in his seven UCL appearances this term. Given his time injured, it's still possible Cristhian Mosquera will get the start
