Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Unai Emery can end his first campaign at Arsenal on a major high as his side take on Premier League foes Chelsea in the Europa League final.

The Spaniard was set the target of guiding the Gunners back into the Champions League at the first attempt - something he can achieve by winning UEFA's secondary competition in Baku on May 29.

Arsenal have impressed during their run to the final, overcoming the likes of Napoli and Valencia over two legs to set up this huge showdown with fellow London club Chelsea in Azerbaijan.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their final match of 2018-19.

Holding suffered a serious knee injury against Manchester United in December. Like Ramsey and Bellerin, he will not play again this term but should be fit to return for pre-season ahead of the 2019-20 campaign.

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: May 29 (vs. Chelsea)

Arsenal confirmed earlier this month that Welbeck will leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season. Still recovering from a broken ankle, the Englishman has almost certainly played his last game for the Gunners, though he has not yet been officially ruled out.

Suarez's disappointing short-term loan spell from Barcelona was officially ended last month after failing to recover from a niggling groin injury, forcing him to return to his parent club for further treatment.

Status: Slight doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: May 29 (vs. Chelsea)

Mavropanos lasted a little over half an hour of Arsenal's final Premier League match of the season after picking up a knock at Turf Moor. The two-and-a-half week gap between matches means that the centre-back should be back available for contention to face Chelsea.

Arsenal have no suspension issues ahead of the all-English Europa League final, though they will be without Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan due to political reasons.
