Jurrien Timber remains sidelined!
Standing in their way of a first Premier League title in 22 years are Crystal Palace and Burnley; meanwhile, in the Champions League, they face Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal will be desperate to have a fully fit squad for the final three matches; however, they are currently set to be without both their right-backs.
Arsenal hopeful Jurrien Timber can make one final injury push
Arsenal are not ruling out the return of Jurrien Timber before the end of the season, according to Hand of Arsenal.
Timber has missed the last ten matches with an ankle injury, having picked up the knock during the 2-0 win over Everton back in March.
The Gunners had hoped the Dutch defender would make a swift return to action; however, he suffered setbacks in March and April.
The 24-year-old is now preparing to make one final push to be ready to play some sort of part in the final three matches.

White looks to have suffered a bad knee injury, which has meant that the Gunners have been left very short in terms of right-back options.
Mikel Arteta was reluctant to use Cristhian Mosquera there against West Ham and even moved Declan Rice to right-back ahead of the Spaniard.
Timber now has a huge incentive to do everything within his power to be fit and help the team try to create history.
Whoever starts the Champions League final versus PSG is likely to be matched up against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which is a daunting task.
Arteta will need a plan to stop PSG’s front three, and starting a Timber who is only just returning from injury could be a huge risk.
