Champions League: Arteta receives double injury boost ahead Atalanta vs Arsenal

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, is set to have Bukayo Saka and Riccardo Calafiori available for their trip to Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday.

The Gunners begin their European campaign against the current Europa League holders.

Mikel Arteta’s side are in fine form this season and beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in Sunday’s North London derby.

Arsenal took all three points without captain Martin Odegaard and midfielder Declan Rice.

Odegaard will be unavailable again due to the ankle injury, while Rice will return after serving a one-match domestic suspension.

Calafiori appears ready to feature after he was pictured in training on Tuesday morning, while Saka has shaken off the niggle that forced him off in the closing stages against Tottenham.
