Arsenal team and injury news

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could have more options at his disposal when his side prepare to take on Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday night.

William Saliba is available to play, despite picking up a red card at the weekend against Bournemouth, due to it taking place in a domestic competition – which means he will miss out against Liverpool at the weekend.

Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber could be available once again depending on their condition in training on Monday, the manager confirmed.

Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are all set to miss out through injury.
