Merino on the bench! Arsenal and PSG name XIs for Champions League clash

Arsenal fans may get their first glimpse of Mikel Merino after their summer signing was named among the substitutes for their Champions League clash with Paris Saint Germain.

The Spaniard has been out of action since signing thanks to a shoulder injury, but could make his debut from the bench at the Emirates Stadium.

Meanwhile, Riccardo Calafiori has also shaken off a knock as Mikel Arteta names the same XI that started against Leicester City, meaning that Kai Havertz is once again preferred to Gabriel Jesus in attack with Thomas Partey partnering Declan Rice in midfield.

For PSG, there is no Ousmané Dembele in the squad after a fallout with Luis Enrique, meaning that Lee Kang In starts through the middle flanked by talented pair Bradley Barcola and Desire Doué.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba. Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Partey, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz.

PSG XI: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Doué, Lee Kang In, Barcola
