Arsenal welcome back Jack Wilshere and Mesut Ozil back for their Europa League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid.

Wilshere and Ozil missed Sunday's win over West Ham as they were given time to recover from ankle, hip injuries and illness respectively. Sead Kolasinac (ankle) is also available.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (knee), Mohamed Elneny (ankle) and Santi Cazorla (Achilles) remain sidelined, however, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is ineligible.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone insists Diego Costa is fit and ready to "intimidate" Arsenal.

Former Chelsea striker Costa scored three times in six games against the Gunners during his time at Stamford Bridge, including the equaliser in last season's FA Cup final which Arsenal went on to win 2-1.

The Spain international always seemed to be able to rile the Arsenal defence and was directly involved in red cards issued to Gabriel and Per Mertesacker during separate clashes between the teams.

Arsenal XI: Ospina; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Ramsey, Xhaka, Wilshere; Ozil, Lacazette, Welbeck.

Atletico Madrid XI: Oblak; Vrsaljko, Gimenez, Godin, Lucas; Correa, Thomas, Saul, Koke; Griezmann, Gameiro.

The fans are urging their team forward. Ozil has a corner to take, he hits across the box, it lands with Xhaka on the edge of the box! He can pull the trigger here....

Gross. That's a dreadful attempt. He swipes at the ball, scuffing it wide and high. And that's it!
