Arsenal without Beth Mead for Champions League semi-final clash with Lyon while Steph Catley injury absence increases focus on Leah Williamson's fitness

Arsenal will be without Beth Mead and Steph Catley for the first leg of their Women's Champions League semi-final against Lyon this weekend, with the latter's absence placing further focus on the fitness of the recently returned Leah Williamson. The England captain played her first minutes in over a month while on international duty last week, the timing of which could be potentially vital for the Gunners' European title defence.
