Injury updates have been provided on five players before Arsenal face Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League semi-final second leg at the Parc Des Princes.
After just four minutes of their first European clash at Emirates Stadium, Ousmane Dembele scored and despite Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos all having chances, the Frenchman's goal ultimately decided the outcome.

"Victim of bone edema in the 2nd metatarsal of his right foot, will remain at rest for the next few weeks," their medical update read on Friday.
"Ousmane Dembele has strained his right hamstring. His condition is progressing well. A further assessment will be carried out shortly."
"Tomorrow he [Dembele] won't play [vs Strasbourg], that's for sure," Enrique later admitted. On Kimpembe, he added: "I don't have that information. You have the medical report, I can't give any other type of information on that."
As for Arsenal, it looks as though Arteta will be relying on the same group of players to overturn the deficit with new updates on Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho not very positive.
"Yeah, he’s [Calafiori] out. Still out,"
"It's got a bit more complicated than expected," he added on Jorginho after confirming the midfielder was also unavailable. "Thankfully, he's fine, he's feeling good, he's recovering well, but it was a bit more than what we wanted.
"Hopefully, if everything goes well in the next week or so, he will be integrated in the team, yeah."
Asked about him being back before the end of May, Arteta said: "I think so, I think if everything goes the way it's going at the moment and the way it's planned, I think he will have a chance to play a few games in the season."
The Germany international being available for a potential Champions League final would come as a huge boost but first Arsenal must find a way past PSG.
