Arsenal is preparing to enter the decisive phase of its challenging season, after narrowing the gap in the English Premier League title race. The team successfully regained the lead following a 1-0 victory over Newcastle in the previous round.

The attacking duo Eberechi Eze and Kai Havertz were injured during the match against Newcastle, leaving the game affected. Reports later confirmed that Eze's condition was only precautionary, and he is expected to be ready to participate in the match against Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal's open training sessions, before traveling to Madrid for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, saw the participation of Eze, alongside returning defender Riccardo Calafiori, who had been absent since early April.

On the other hand, Kai Havertz missed training, raising doubts about his participation in the match, despite the team's coach, Mikel Arteta, describing his injury as minor. It is likely that he will not take part in the European encounter.
