Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is facing a defensive headache ahead of Tuesday’s Premier League clash with Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
Takehiro Tomiyasu, who missed Saturday’s 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers with a knock, remains a doubt for the visit of the Blues. Jurrien Timber is definitely out with an ACL injury.
Oleksandr Zinchenko could return to the starting lineup in place of Jakub Kiwior, who struggled against Wolves.
Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice are expected to keep their places in midfield, while Gabriel Jesus may make way for Kai Havertz if Jorginho is recalled to the number six role.
Gabriel Martinelli could start ahead of Leandro Trossard in attack.
Arsenal’s possible starting lineup: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
