Arsenal handed double injury boost for Atalanta game

18 September 2024 - 20:57

Arsenal have been handed a double injury boost ahead of the Champions League opener against Atalanta on the road.

  • Atletico Madrid interested in two Chelsea stars?
  • Chelsea agree £52m deal to sign 20yo English winger



  • The Gunners returned to winning ways at the weekend. They registered a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur away from home.

    Riccardo Calafiori was sidelined for the game with a calf issue, but he has returned in time to face Atalanta in Bergamo tomorrow.

    Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka has also recovered from a minor knock and he is expected to be involved against the Serie A outfit.

    Arsenal need to finish in the top eight of the new Champions League format in order to qualify directly for the round of 16 stage.

    If they were to finish ninth to 24th in the 36-team format, they would need to play a knockout round play-off to progress further.

    The Gunners will be aiming to secure at least six wins from their eight league games. Mikel Arteta is expected to name a strong XI tomorrow.
