Arsenal boss Emery handed headache as Cech declared fit for Sporting Lisbon

Petr Cech has declared himself fit for Arsenal's Europa League meeting with Sporting Lisbon on Thursday night.

Cech suffered a hamstring injury against Watford last month but has now returned to full fitness.

The news provides Unai Emery with a selection headache due to the impressive performances of Bernd Leno during Cech's absence.

Defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos has also recovered in time for the trip to Portugal.

However, Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac remain doubtful.
