Arsenal have been handed a major boost with defender Riccardo Calafiori poised to return for the Champions League semi-final ties against Paris Saint-Germain.
The Italy international picked up a knee injury on international duty last month and it was initially predicted that he could be sidelined for three weeks.
Calafiori has now returned to the grass and manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that he could be in the running to face Les Parisiens in Europe.
Arsenal will be without midfielder Thomas Partey for the first leg of the semi-final at the Emirates Stadium. He is suspended for the encounter.
Myles Lewis-Skelly could be deployed in the number six role against Les Parisiens if Calafiori is deemed fit to start from the left-back position.
The Gunners are presently 13 points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League, but they will want to end the campaign on a high.
Arsenal face Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace in quick succession before hosting PSG. Arteta is likely to heavily rotate for both fixtures.
