Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori are closing on their Arsenal returns. Although, that said, Bournemouth will come too soon for both of them.
While the mind may well be firmly still on PSG, the job in the Premier League is not done.
Should the Gunners win their match with Bournemouth and either Chelsea or Nottingham Forest lose to Liverpool or Crystal Palace, respectively, they will have qualified for next season's Champions League. But attention is on who might even play for the Gunners this weekend.

Three players are all out but have been considered by many in contention for a return before the end of the season. Mikel Arteta was asked to provide an update on those who might return for this weekend and next week.
On Riccardo Calafiori he replied: “He’s out.” On Jorginho: “Out!”
While Arteta did confirm Jorginho had not suffered a broken rib and that he might play again this season, he did offer some further context: “It got a bit more complicated than expected. He's fine, he's recovering well.”
On Kai Havertz’s chances of playing again this season, he said: “I think so, if everything goes the way it's going at the moment, he will have a chance to play a few games before the end of the season.”
Regarding the chances of the trio playing against PSG in the second leg he replied: “I wouldn't rule all of them out. Let's see in the next few days how they react.”
Arsenal take on Bournemouth at 5.30pm UK time on Saturday. Coverage on football.london starts four before kick-off and runs through on our matchday blog.
