 Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension, injury list vs. Slavia Prague

Arsenal injury, suspension list vs. Slavia Prague

Arsenal head into the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final with Slavia Prague looking to bounce back from only claiming a 1-1 draw last week.

The Gunners had been on their way to a potentially-decisive victory with a clean sheet before Tomas Holes netted a 93rd-minute equaliser for the visitors.

However, Mikel Arteta's side responded to that disappointment by cruising to a 3-0 win at Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

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


Kieran Tierney

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: Unknown

In a major blow to Arsenal's European chances, Tierney could miss six weeks with a knee injury, leading to Arteta to acknowledge that the Scotland international may miss the rest of the season.


David Luiz

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: May 1 (vs. Newcastle United)

Luiz has undergone a small operation to address a knee problem, and he should return to action before the campaign concludes.


Martin Odegaard

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: April 15 (vs. Slavia Prague)

When ruling Odegaard out of the Sheffield United match, Arteta hinted that the Norwegian would struggle to recover in time for the trip to Prague. Nevertheless, the playmaker will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness.


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Illness Possible return date: April 15 (vs. Slavia Prague)

Aubameyang missed the game at Bramall Lane through illness, leaving him with four days to recover for the next match. The Gabon international will be assessed during the early part of the week.


Gabriel Martinelli

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: April 15 (vs. Slavia Prague)

Having taken a knock to his ankle in the last fixture, Martinelli is a doubt for this all-important Europa League contest. However, Arteta spoke positively about the Brazilian's fitness after the game on Sunday, potentially an indication that he expects the attacker to be available for selection.
