Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira admits Alexandre Lacazette's return is a big boost facing Rennes tonight.

The Gunners need to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit to progress in their Europa League tie. Lacazette available after having a suspension slashed.

"We all know how important Alex Lacazette is to us as a group and obviously the more players we have available, the better it is because we do have some quality players, particularly in midfield and up top," he said.

"Hopefully we will be able to make that danger pay. Let's just hope that Lacazette can help us to achieve the result.

"Obviously we had the situation in the last round where we had to turn the tie around. I think in terms of the game last week [in Rennes] it was a very different game until the red card to Sokratis.

"I think we were in control of the match and we'd obviously taken an early lead, but the red card did change things and Rennes were able to take advantage of things. With that being said, we do have confidence that we're going to give a very big performance and go through to the next round."
