Arsenal injury, suspension list and return dates for Bayern Munich: Odegaard, Gyokeres, Gabriel latest

After passing the first of their three taxing tests with flying colours, Arsenal headline this week's Champions League action against fellow 12-pointers Bayern Munich at the Emirates on Wednesday night.

Mikel Arteta masterminded a marvellous 4-1 Premier League triumph over North London derby rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, thanks in no small part to an electrifying Eberechi Eze hat-trick.

Arsenal extended their lead at the Premier League summit to six points over the weekend, and they are only being kept off the top of the 36-team Champions League league-phase rankings owing to Bayern's superior goals scored total.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Bayern, who demolished Freiburg 6-2 in their most recent Bundesliga assignment.

Gabriel Magalhaes

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Gabriel Magalhaes was seen joining in the celebrations on Sunday, but the Brazilian faces at least a few weeks on the sidelines with the thigh injury he sustained while playing for his country earlier this month.

Viktor Gyokeres

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: November 30 (vs. Chelsea)

Viktor Gyokeres was close to returning from a hamstring problem in time for the derby, but he failed to make the grade and has also been ruled out of this game.

Martin Odegaard

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: November 26 (vs. Bayern)

Likewise, Martin Odegaard was on the verge of making his comeback against Spurs before being ruled out, but the captain - who issued a positive update on his recovery on Sunday - may have a chance of returning here.

Kai Havertz

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann recently revealed that Kai Havertz had suffered a setback in his recovery from a knee operation, so it is unclear when the versatile attacker might return.

Gabriel Jesus

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: January 3 (vs. Bournemouth)

Gabriel Jesus has been in full training for the past couple of weeks after his ACL injury, and the striker is on course for a first-team return in late December or early January.

ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Arsenal have no players suspended for this game, and they will also have Martin Zubimendi back from a European ban, but Declan Rice will miss the matchday six clash with Club Brugge if he is booked on Wednesday.
