Arsenal's Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly, and Lotte Wubben-Moy are available for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Olympique Lyonnais, confirmed by Renee Slegers. Russo and Kelly returned from injuries picked up during international duty, while Wubben-Moy is back from a muscular injury suffered in February. Slegers mentioned that Russo and Kelly are ready for significant playing time in the upcoming match.
Goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, recovering from an injury with the Netherlands national team, is unlikely to feature in the first leg but is progressing well for potential participation in the second leg. Manuela Zinsberger is expected to continue in goal after starting in Van Domselaar's absence in the previous match. The semi-final will also mark a reunion with former Arsenal head coach Joe Montemurro, now leading Lyon, who currently tops Division 1 Feminin.
The second leg of the semi-final is scheduled for April 27 at Lyon's Groupama Stadium.
