Team News: Atalanta BC vs. Arsenal injury, suspension list, predicted XIs for Champions League

Arsenal commence their latest Champions League campaign on Thursday evening, when they visit Europa League winners Atalanta BC in Bergamo.

However, both Mikel Arteta and his Atalanta counterpart Gian Piero Gasperini will have key players missing in midweek. Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest team news.
