MASSIVE: Arsenal’s 24-year-old Star Confirms Start Against Dinamo Zagreb

German Gunner and vice-captain Per Mertesacker has been a major doubt due to illness which has seen him missing from action in the last two games.

Per has however recovered and was seen back in training before the minor cash crash he had on Monday this week after training; however the German was unhurt and he has recovered from the crash and has resumed training with the squad.

However, Gabriel Paulista who was brilliant over the weekend against Stoke City has announced he will make the starting lineup for today’s game.

Paulista took to his instagram handle to announce he will be making the starting line up here is the picture he posted.

“Today begins a new stage in my life, the first champions league of many that will come. Thank you God for everything, lets go @arsenal #gabrielisagunner #braziliangunner #UCL“
