Arsenal injury, suspension list and return dates vs. Bayern Munich: Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis, William Saliba latest

Already two for two in their latest quest for Champions League stardom, Arsenal face the toughest examination of their continental credentials yet on Wednesday night, when they go up against the mighty Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Mikel Arteta's men followed up their 1-0 win over Napoli with a 3-0 triumph over Lille last week, courtesy of second-half strikes from Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze.

Another three points and clean sheet came the Gunners' way at the City Ground on Sunday too, as the Premier League champions continued their title defence with a gritty 1-0 success at Nottingham Forest.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Bayern, who shockingly dropped two points in a 3-3 draw with Viking FK on matchday two.
