Arsenal have received a major boost for the final weeks of the season, including their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid, with a serious injury to one of their stars ruled out.
The Gunners secured a 1-0 win over Newcastle United at the weekend in the Premier League, but the victory was bittersweet after both Kai Havertz and Eberechi Eze suffered injuries.
Riccardo Calafiori also missed the game completely, while the likes of Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber have been struggling in recent weeks.
It's a crucial few weeks for Arsenal as they aim to win the Champions League and Premier League, and even a small injury can be disastrous with there only being a handful of games remaining in the season.

According to reliable insider HandOfArsenal, who has been cited by journalist David Ornstein previously, there is cautious optimism around Havertz's injury.
The insider claimed that initial fears of it being a serious injury have been alleviated, but the timeline is yet to be determined.
It's great news for Arsenal, particularly in their race for the Premier League title as they battle with Manchester City at the top.
It feels unlikely that Havertz is going to be available for the game against Atletico this week, but hopefully we'll be seeing him again this season.
Arsenal Need Havertz After Gyokeres' Performance

Arsenal need Havertz in the final weeks of the season, particularly after the performance of Viktor Gyokeres against Newcastle at the weekend.
The Swedish striker came off the bench to replace Havertz in the first half, but he was incredibly disappointing as he so often has been this season.
Arsenal spent a significant sum of money bringing the former Coventry City man to the Emirates Stadium in the summer transfer window, but they are yet to see a strong return on that investment.
Havertz certainly offers more in the final third than Gyokeres, and he should be making that striker spot his own if he's fit enough for the remainder of the season.
