Arsenal have been handed a triple injury boost as Leandro Trossard, William Saliba and Riccardo Calafiori were all involved in the Gunners’ training today.
The Emirates Stadium club take on Bayer Leverkusen in the first-leg of the round of 16 tie of the Champions League tomorrow and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been sweating on the fitness of some of his players.
Trossard picked up a knock in the first-half in the FA Cup game against Mansfield Town on Saturday and was unable to continue after going down, eventually getting replaced by Piero Hincapie.
The Belgian is training today despite going off last time out and is fine by the look of things.

Calafiori also limped out of the FA Cup win over Mansfield while Saliba was not included in the squad.
Martin Zubimendi, Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice were also not involved at the weekend but have returned to Arsenal training.
However, Ben White and Martin Odegaard did not take part in the open training the Gunners are having at London Colney before they head off to Germany.
Arteta will be hoping for more good news in the coming weeks and will pray his key players stay fit heading into the most crucial part of the campaign.
The North London club are favourites heading into Wednesday’s game, but they have to be on top of their game to return home with a great result ahead of the second-leg at the Emirates Stadium.
They have plenty of games to play between now and the end of the season due to being involved in four competitions, and they need most of their players fitter and better than before.
