Mikel Arteta confirmed defender Jurrien Timber is available to start Saturday's Champions League final for Arsenal against Paris Saint-Germain at Puskas Arena.
Timber, 24, has been absent since March 14 with a groin injury but has returned to full training. Winger Noni Madueke is also fit after suffering cramp in Arsenal's final Premier League match against Crystal Palace, where the Gunners lifted the title to end a 22-year wait for the English championship.
Arsenal are seeking the first Champions League title in the club's history. Their only previous final appearance came 20 years ago, when Arsene Wenger's side fell 2-1 to Barcelona in Paris. PSG eliminated Arsenal at the semifinal stage last season.
"It is the opportunity to own the moment," said Arteta. "It is the second time we are here and we have an opportunity to write a new chapter in the history of this football club. In order to do that we have to play tomorrow with such a clarity, a lot of courage and a relentless desire to win."
Arteta dismissed any suggestion the Premier League title had eased the pressure heading into the final.
"The ambition is bigger. We have one and we want the second one," he said. "They are defending the trophy. They are the last ones who earned the right to lift that trophy and they are actually the champions. We are here to take that away from them."
