Arsenal's right-sided Dutch full back Jurrien Timber will be fit to start the side's Champions League final against Paris St Germain on Saturday, manager Mikel Arteta has said.

Timber has been out with an injury since March, but Arteta said he was now available for Saturday's showpiece.

"He is fit," Arteta told reporters on Friday. "Noni (Madueke) as well."

Arsenal, who have just won their first domestic title in 22 years, are facing PSG in Budapest seeking to lift the Champions League trophy for the first time in their history.
