In a boost, however, Leandro Trossard has returned to training and is set to be involved in the round-of-16 clash. ‌Defender Timber came off injured in the first half of Arsenal's dramatic 2-0 win at home to Everton on Saturday. On Trossard, who took part in Monday's training session, the Arsenal manager added: "He's okay, he felt good." Arteta says that Odegaard is 'really pushing' while Timber's injury is a 'matter of days'. The Gunners were below par in the first leg, with Leverkusen opening the scoring early in the second half.
