Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Bayern Munich - Rice, Havertz risk

For the first time in 14 years, Arsenal will vie for glory in the Champions League quarter-finals, hosting Bayern Munich in the first leg of their last-eight tie at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

Mikel Arteta's dramatically bested Porto on penalties to end their last-16 curse, with David Raya enjoying a hero arc with two saves in the second-leg shootout.

The Gunners return to continental duty on the back of a near-flawless start to their Premier League commitments in 2024, most recently easing to a 3-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion to remain in the thick of the title race.

With Bukayo Saka shaking off his concern to start and score at the weekend, Jurrien Timber is the only Arsenal player unavailable for the first leg due to his severe ACL injury, but he is making steady progress in training and is expected to return before the campaign is over.

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match, although Declan Rice and Kai Havertz will both miss the second leg if they are cautioned on Tuesday.
