Arsenal will face Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final clash next Thursday.
According to a report from Football.London, Arsenal have been handed a huge boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final clash with Atletico Madrid, with the news that four first-team stars are closing in on a return to full fitness.
The Gunners Premier League campaign is all but over, and their only chance of qualifying for the Champions League is for them to win the Europa League this season.
Their hopes of doing just that received a major blow, however, when they were drawn against Diego Simeone’s Atleti side.
There is some good news for Arsenal fans, though, with Football.London reporting that Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, David Ospina and, surprisingly, Henrikh Mkhitaryan are all closing in on a return to full fitness ahead of their clash with the La Liga outfit.
The north London outfit will have to be at their very best, if they are to have any chance of beating Atleti over two legs, and having a full compliment of players fit and available for selection will be absolutely vital to their hopes of doing just that.
