For some members of his Arsenal squad, they are also playing for their long-term futures at the club.

Arsenal trail French champions Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 from the first leg.

PSG have gained a reputation for being even stronger at the Parc des Princes, so Arteta’s men face a daunting, but not impossible, task.

Equally, it will be a defining night for players, when heroes can be made and reputations enhanced.

Arsenal’s squad have been pushed to the limit because of injury and there can be no doubt that a major overhaul is required this summer.
