Ben White and Mikel Merino return to Arsenal training ahead of PSG clash




Arsenal duo Ben White and Mikel Merino have returned to first-team training ahead of the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, according to Sky Sports journalist Sam Blitz.

They were both missing from the Gunners matchday squad which faced Crystal Palace at the weekend but are now fully fit to return to action.

Arsenal host PSG in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-finals tomorrow, and having both White and Merino available for selection is a huge boost for manager Mikel Arteta.

Merino has been the makeshift number 9 in the absence of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, with four assists and seven goals to his name in the last 13 appearances.

The Spanish midfielder grabbed both assists as the Gunners ran out 2-1 winners against Real Madrid in the second-leg of the Champions League quarter-finals having notched a goal in the 3-0 victory over the La Liga club in the first-leg at Emirates Stadium.

He will be raring to go against the Ligue 1 club tomorrow, and not many would bet against him getting involved in the goals across both legs.
