Cristhian Mosquera starts the Champions League final for Arsenal at right-back against holders Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, with Jurrien Timber named on the bench after over two months out with a groin injury.
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta said the Dutch defender was fit to start but opted to play centre-back Mosquera on the right of the defence instead, up against arguably the tournament’s top performer, PSG winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Spaniard also selects Kai Havertz in attack instead of Viktor Gyokeres and Piero Hincapie at left-back over Riccardo Calafiori.
