Champions League Round of 16 Draw: Arsenal set to battle with PSV, Madrid host Atletico

Published

Arsenal will take on Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie as they aim to recover from a poor run of form.

The Gunners, winless in their last two matches, are facing a crucial test in Europe.

With their Premier League title hopes fading, now trailing leaders Liverpool by 13 points, winning the Champions League appears to be their best chance to end a five-year trophy drought.

A favourable draw against PSV could give manager Mikel Arteta the opportunity to regroup and reintegrate key players.

However, Arsenal have been hit with injury setbacks. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have been ruled out for the rest of the season due to hamstring and knee injuries, respectively.

On a positive note, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli could return in time for the quarter-finals if Arsenal progress.
