Arsenal manager Renee Slegers announced that key players Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly are fit to return for the Champions League semifinal against Lyon, having worked hard on their recovery. Despite the absence of goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar due to an ankle injury, Slegers expresses confidence in the team's solidarity and progress, especially following their impressive comeback against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. This achievement marks the first instance of both Arsenal men's and women's teams reaching the semifinals in the same season, strengthening their unity and optimism across the club.
"They will be fully available, so that's great. I think both players have been working really, really hard to get to this point with the medical team, so that's great."
"I really feel like since I've come to the club that it's one club. After we won against Madrid, I got messages from everyone across the club including Mikel [Arteta] and he said it was inspirational."
