Arsenal defender Rob Holding declares himself fit for Europa League game?

Arsenal defender Rob Holding has reportedly declared himself fit for the club's Europa League fixture with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Holding has not featured for the Gunners since suffering a serious knee injury against Manchester United in a Premier League clash back in December.

However, the Englishman has been building up his match fitness by representing the North Londoners in several second-string matches.

According to the Daily Mail, the 23-year-old now feels that he is ready for senior action, starting with Thursday's encounter in Germany.

Holding's potential return comes at a time when Unai Emery's team have conceded a total of seven goals in outings against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Watford.
