Arsenal will be without Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber when they host Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League tomorrow.
The Gunners had the worst possible start after the international break. They suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth on the road.
William Saliba picked up a straight red card in the 30th minute and this paved the way for the Cherries to dominate and pick up maximum points in the end.
Mikel Arteta will want a strong response from his side, but he will be without Odegaard, Saka, Timber and Takehiro Tomiyasu on Tuesday evening.
The quarter were not spotted in today’s training session and it is unlikely that any of them will be present against the Ukrainian giants tomorrow.
Despite this, Arsenal should be clear favourites to beat Shakhtar and pick up their second win of the new league format of the Champions League.
Raheem Sterling could continue on the right wing. We could see Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank with Leandro Trossard in the no.10 role.
