Arsenal defender Ben White will miss Saturday's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain due to a knee injury that has ended his season prematurely. However, the Gunners have received a boost with Jurrien Timber declared fit to start, as confirmed by manager Mikel Arteta.
Arteta said: "He's fit, yeah," referring to Timber, who has been absent since March. The Dutchman's availability provides a significant tactical option for the Spaniard as Arsenal aim to end their wait for continental glory, having last reached the final in 2006.
For Paris Saint-Germain, star players Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes have all overcome injuries and are available for the match. PSG manager Luis Enrique confirmed: "Haki and Nuno, they are OK, they are able to play tomorrow." Dembele also dismissed fitness concerns, stating he is "100 percent ready."
However, PSG will be without Lucas Chevalier and Quentin Ndjantou due to injury. The match, set to take place in Budapest, sees the newly-crowned Premier League champions face the reigning Champions League winners in a highly anticipated showdown.
