They are not fit — Arsenal boss Arteta reveals double injury blow ahead of PSG semi-final
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is sweating on the fitness of two key players ahead of their massive Champions League showdown against Paris Saint-Germain.
Since the 2021/22 season, Arsenal have been the highest-ranked Premier League club for goals from set pieces. Declan Rice's impressive free kicks in the quarter-finals against Real Madrid and Jakub Kiwior's headed goal from a free kick against Crystal Palace are recent examples of their proficiency.

Despite Arsenal's obvious strength from set-pieces, Enrique remains confident in his team's abilities.
"No, I haven’t planned to work on set pieces because I’ve known Arsenal for a very long time," he said via RMC Sport.
"We’ve already played them this season. The qualities and flaws that have gotten us this far are the same.
"We want to win every trophy by playing the way we play and defending the way we defend. No team in the world is perfect, and neither will we be."
Enrique's trust in his team's strengths and adaptability might just be put to the test against Arsenal's set piece threat.
