Trossard scored the winning goal in the 1-0 win over West Ham United, which might have been their biggest victory of the season.

Now, the 31-year-old can play another important role in helping the Gunners to secure the double when they face PSG on Saturday.

Leandro Trossard could be key against Achraf Hakimi

Leandro Trossard is set to start left wing for Arsenal in the Champions League final and is likely to be pitted against Achraf Hakimi.

Hakimi has been a doubt for the final for the past few weeks, having suffered an injury; however, the right-back now looks fit to start.

But despite the Moroccan defender being available, it is unclear what physical condition he will be in for the final, given that he has not properly played or trained for a while.

Therefore, Trossard will need to take advantage of this and make the defender’s life as tough as possible at the Puskas Arena.

Hakimi is undoubtedly one of the best full-backs in the world, so having him fit is still a huge boost for Luis Enrique’s team, regardless of his condition.

In the Premier League this season, Trossard ranks in the 85th percentile for successful dribbles, and he will need to test Hakimi on Saturday.

No Jurrien Timber vs Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a huge blow for Arsenal

Jurrien Timber is set to play with the Arsenal squad in Budapest on Thursday, but it is unclear whether the Dutch defender will be passed fit to play.

Given the fact that he has not featured since March, it seems unlikely that he will be a risk for the final, which is a huge blow for Arsenal.

Stopping Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is going to be one of the big tasks this weekend, and it looks like Cristhian Mosquera will be the man assigned that task.
