Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will return from a touchline suspension for Tuesday's Champions League Group B finale with PSV Eindhoven at Philips Stadion.

The Gunners manager helplessly watched on from the director's box during the weekend's 1-0 Premier League loss to Aston Villa, which prevented his side from rising back to the top of the rankings.

Takehiro Tomiyasu (calf), Jurrien Timber (knee), Thomas Partey (thigh) and Fabio Vieira (groin) remain absent and should not be back until various points of 2024, while Gabriel Martinelli will miss out due to illness, and Bukayo Saka is unlikely to be risked due to a foot problem.

However, Emile Smith Rowe made a quicker than expected return to training on Monday following a knee injury, and he has boarded the flight for the trip to the Netherlands.

While changes are expected with nothing but pride at stake, that should not extend to Aaron Ramsdale, who is likely to remain out in the cold as David Raya continues in between the posts.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ben White and William Saliba will likely reprise their defensive roles, but Gabriel Magalhaes is overdue a break, so Jakub Kiwior may act as Arteta's left-sided centre-back here.

Jorginho is also knocking on the midfield door and could join Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in the trio, forcing Kai Havertz back down to the bench despite the German's recent improvement.

Gooners will be crying out for Arteta to give Saka a complete midweek rest after the winger was in the wars at Villa Park again, and their pleas should not fall on deaf ears this time around, as Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard could link arms in a new-look front three.
