Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Vitoria de Guimaraes

Arsenal continue their Europa League campaign with the second match of their double-header with Vitoria de Guimaraes, which is being staged on Wednesday afternoon.

Having won each of their opening three matches in Group F, Arsenal know that one more victory will be enough to earn a spot in the last 32 of the competition.

However, aware that the Gunners could benefit from qualifying as group winners, Unai Emery will be keen for his players to avoid any complacency against the bottom side in the group.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Arsenal ahead of the fixture in Portugal.
