Full Arsenal squad revealed to face Villarreal in the Europa League semi-final

  Arsenal are preparing to face Villarreal in the Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday. The Gunners reached the semis after having celebrated a 5-1 on aggregate win over Slavia Praha. Ahead of the game, Mikel Arteta provided a team news update. "They are all in contention," Arteta told reporters. "All of them. Including Aubameyang, Laca and Kieran. They are all in contention for the game. Yes [it is good news]. "We do need them, because we know that we have some players that are in contention and they are the ones who can make the difference in a big tie like this. "But the word risk, I don't like to put players on the pitch if they can't perform and they can't feel secure that they can perform. If it's a risk or we're going to take a gamble, then I don't think it's the right thing to do. "[Tierney] didn't need the surgery that we were afraid of at the beginning and then he's been working like a beast every single day. I don't know if he's going to make it tomorrow but he certainly wants to be as close as possible to that football pitch to give himself the best possible chance." Here is Arsenal's full squad available to face Villarreal: Goalkeepers - Bernd Leno, Runar Runarsson, Mat Ryan, Karl Hein. Defenders - Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding, David Luiz, Calum Chambers, Gabriel Magalhaes, Cedric Soares, Pablo Mari, Kieran Tierney, Joel Lopez. Midfielders - Mohamed Elneny, Emile Smith Rowe, Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard (doubt), Dani Ceballos, Ben Cottrell, Miguel Azeez. Forwards - Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli, Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Willian, Folarin Balogun.   source - football.london / Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
