Arsenal have been handed a triple injury boost ahead of their Champions League showdown against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Gunners head to the French capital this afternoon ahead of Wedneday’s semi-final second leg.

Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten 1-0 a week ago and have a mountain to climb if they are to reach the final later this month in Munich.

The Arsenal appears to have received a major shot in the arm after Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori were all spotted in training on Tuesday morning.

Skipper Odegaard, whose form has been called into question recently, hurt his foot during the closing stages of Saturday’s shock home defeat against Bournemouth.

The Norway international allayed fears he had sustained a serious injury on Monday but the sight of him training with his teammates would have come as a welcome relief to his manager.

Timber, meanwhile, missed the weekend setback having limped off during the closing stages of the game against the French champions.

Ben White deputised against the Cherries, but Timber now looks set to return tot he starting line-up.

The match will likely however, come too soon for Calafiori with the full-back having been out of action since March when he injured his knee playing for Italy against Germany.
