Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Real Madrid.

Halfway there to knocking out the holders, Arsenal aim to finish the job against Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

Mikel Arteta masterminded a tremendous 3-0 victory in last week's opening encounter at the Emirates, where two outrageous Declan Rice free kicks preceded a tidy Mikel Merino finish in North London.

However, Champions League nights at the Bernabeu are never a foregone conclusion, and the Gunners were dealt a few more fitness blows in the weekend's 1-1 Premier League draw with Brentford.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.
