Arsenal fans have been left delighted with the news that David Luiz will be fit for their game against Villarreal this evening.
The London Evening Standard have reported that Luiz is now back in training after recovering from a lay-off which was expected to keep him out for a considerable amount of time.
Luiz could now come into Arteta’s thinking for this evening’s clash.
And Arsenal fans feel that Luiz could be a crucial player for them in such a big tie.
Luiz’s place in Arsenal’s team is not certain, but when fit he is a player who Arteta has generally picked.
The Brazilian shows great leadership qualities and is always talked highly about by the club’s youngsters.
In such a pressurised environment, Arsenal will need their more battle hardened players to step up to the plate.
If Luiz does start he looks likely to partner Pablo Mari, as he was on interview duty yesterday.
Typically which ever player is selected to face the media is always included in the starting line-up the next day.
Arsenal’s season effectively comes down to how well they perform in the Europa League.
The Gunners have been highly disappointing in domestic competition, but a win later could really improve spirits around the Emirates Stadium.
