Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Portsmouth

Arsenal must turn their attention to their only remaining chance of silverware this season when they face League One Portsmouth at Fratton Park in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Monday night.

The Gunners suffered a heartbreaking extra-time exit from the Europa League at the hands of Olympiacos on Thursday, leaving their hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League in tatters.

However, the most successful team in FA Cup history will be favourites to progress into the quarter-finals against their lower-league hosts as Mikel Arteta looks to mark his first season in charge with a trophy.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to the South coast.

Kieran Tierney has now returned to training after suffering a dislocated shoulder and, while Monday's match may possibly come too soon for him, Arteta has confirmed that the full-back is "much closer" to a return and an FA Cup tie against lower-league opposition seems like a good chance for minutes.
