Arsenal injury, suspension list and return dates for Olympiacos: Piero Hincapie, Kai Havertz latest

One for one in the 2025-26 Champions League, Arsenal play their first home game of the tournament on Wednesday evening, hosting Greek giants Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta's super subs made the difference in an opening 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on matchweek one, where Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard both came up with braces off the bench at the San Mames Stadium.

The Gunners also needed a late late show to take down Newcastle United in Sunday's Premier League thriller, where a 2-1 comeback triumph moved them to within just two points of leaders Liverpool.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the visit of Olympiacos, who were held to a goalless draw by tournament debutants Pafos last time out in Europe.
