Arsenal have been handed a huge boost for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid next month.

The Gunners progressed to the last eight of the competition on Wednesday night following a 9-3 aggregate win over PSV Eindhoven.

Mikel Arteta's side will now face Madrid in the quarter-final. The first leg will be played at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal have received a boost.

Aurelien Tchouameni picked up his third yellow card of the Champions League season yesterday and will therefore serve a one-game ban.

Arsenal will also have an absentee for the encounter. Raheem Sterling picked up his third booking of the European campaign last night.

Sterling was the man of the match against PSV with a couple of assists, but he picked up a yellow card in the closing stages of the game.

As a result, he won't be available for Madrid's visit of the Emirates Stadium, but could make an appearance at the Bernabeu.
