Arsenal receives a double dose of good news ahead of the Champions League final against PSG

Arsenal receives a significant lift in player availability ahead of the Champions League final against PSG, with Jurrien Timber and Noni Madueke overcoming their injuries, and manager Mikel Arteta vowing to beat the defending champions to create history.

Arsenal gets a huge boost on the eve of the Champions League final as manager Mikel Arteta confirms that defender Jurrien Timber has fully recovered and is ready to start against PSG. The Spanish tactician also emphasized that the Gunners' goal is to defeat the reigning champions and reach the pinnacle of European football for the first time.

Timber has not played since March 14 due to a groin injury. However, the Dutch defender has recently returned to full training with the squad and is now eligible to feature in the starting lineup for the final at the Puskas Arena.

Not only Timber, but Arsenal also received positive news regarding Noni Madueke, who is fully fit. The English winger previously suffered from cramp in the final Premier League match of the season against Crystal Palace. After that victory, Arsenal officially clinched the Premier League title, ending a 22-year trophy drought.

Having achieved their domestic goal, Arteta's squad now has the opportunity to make history by winning their first Champions League title. Last season, Arsenal were eliminated by PSG in the semifinals. The only previous time the North London club reached the final of Europe's top competition was in 2006, when they lost 1-2 to Barcelona.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Arteta emphasized: "This is our chance to seize the moment. It's only the second time Arsenal have reached the Champions League final, and we have the opportunity to write a new chapter in the club's history.

To achieve that, we must enter the match with clarity in our play, courage, and an intense desire to win. If we demonstrate those three elements, Arsenal will be very close to victory."

When asked whether the pressure has eased after winning the Premier League Arteta asserted that the team's ambitions are far greater.

"No. Our ambitions are now even bigger. We've won one trophy and want to claim a second. That is what the whole team is aiming for. The domestic title must serve as a foundation for Arsenal to reach even greater goals.

The players have proven their abilities over the past few seasons as well as in this wonderful Champions League campaign. I want them to step onto the pitch believing that we can do it."

The 44-year-old tactician also sent a strong message to PSG: "They are the reigning champions. They are the last team to lift that trophy and are still the kings of Europe. But Arsenal is here to take that cup away from them."
