In the upcoming clash between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in the 2024-25 Champions League, Arsenal will be looking to redeem themselves after only managing a point in their previous match against Atalanta BC. Despite the goalless draw, goalkeeper David Raya’s incredible double save kept Arsenal’s unbeaten record intact. The Gunners are coming off a thrilling 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League, setting the stage for an exciting showdown at the Emirates.
Ben White, who struggled with a knee injury in the recent draw against Manchester City, is facing doubts for the upcoming Champions League match after missing matches against Bolton Wanderers and Leicester City. His potential absence could be a blow for Arsenal as they prepare to face PSG.
Injury concerns also plague Martin Odegaard, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury. The Norwegian midfielder is not expected to return until November 2, potentially missing the clash with Newcastle United. Additionally, Mikel Merino is dealing with a shoulder injury and is also set to miss the PSG match. However, Arteta has not ruled out the possibility of Merino making his debut against Southampton in the following weekend.
Despite these setbacks, Arsenal remains optimistic as they gear up to face PSG, who secured a 1-0 win over Girona in their previous Champions League fixture. The Gunners will be hoping to secure a much-needed victory as they aim to progress further in the competition.
