Arsenal include forgotten man in Champions League squad as Gabriel Martinelli handed new number

Mikel Arteta will hope to guide Arsenal further in the Champions League after being knocked out at the quarter-final stage by Bayern Munich last term and his squad is now confirmed

Forgotten Arsenal star Kieran Tierney has been included in Mikel Areteta's squad for the Champions League.

The Scotland international was expected to move on this summer before suffering an injury while representing his nation at Euro 2024 in Germany. Tierney has yet to return from the hamstring issue and has remained with Arsenal with the Premier League's transfer window now shut.

Arteta was coy last month when providing an update on his progress. "He needs to focus now on recovering in the best possible way," the Spaniard said. "It’s been a tough time for him, with the last injury. We have to try to support him and make sure he comes back fit."

The squad named will last Arsenal for the duration of the group stage, with three additions able to be made to the A-list before the knockout rounds. An unlimited number of players can be added to the B-list should players meet the criteria.

  Napoli may have already decided where Victor Osimhen could play next season when his loan stint with Galatasaray ends next summer.  The 25-year-old forward fell out with the hierarchy at the Italian club and was exiled from the first team before being shipped out on loan to Turkey for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign.  According to Soccernet, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and a few Saudi Arabian teams had shown interest in signing Osimhen last summer but the striker’s wage demands seemed to have put off any deal.  The Nigerian forward also vowed not to play for Napoli again after the Italian club botched his anticipated moves to PSG and Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli.  Chelsea are still heavy favourites to sign Osimhen in the summer but Napoli seems to have other options as they have reportedly decided where the forward will play next season.
