One of the big things that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has to decide before the Champions League final is what to do at right-back.

In this team picture in the Champions Festival in Budapest, Ben White is in the starting XI.

However, White is ruled out with a knee ligament injury and Cristhian Mosquera has been playing there in the past couple of weeks.

That is because first-choice full-back Jurrien Timber has had a long-term injury and he has not played for Arsenal since the middle of March.

Arteta also played Martin Zubimendi at right-back in the final league game at Crystal Palace as he attempts to find a solution before Saturday's showdown with Paris St-Germain.

Timber is here with the squad but it's not clear if he will be fit enough to start, even if he is available for Arteta to pick, after being out for so long.
