Arsenal will hope to move into the last eight of the Europa League by beating Sporting Lisbon at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday.
The Gunners responded to Manchester City's 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace on Saturday by cruising past Fulham less than 24 hours later, with Mikel Arteta's side retaining their five-point lead over the reigning champions at the top of the Premier League table following their 3-0 victory at Craven Cottage.
The Premier League leaders must quickly return their focus to European football after securing a 2-2 draw against Sporting in Lisbon last week, with Arteta hoping for a raucous home atmosphere to help them over the line.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Ruben Amorim's men, who won their fourth successive league match with a 3-0 victory against Boavista on Sunday.
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
Mohamed Elneny is not expected to play again this season as he recovers from a knee operation, but the club's show of faith in the Egypt midfielder was made clear by extending his contract for another year last month.
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: March 16 (vs. Sporting)
Eddie Nketiah has been absent from Arsenal's last three matches due to an ankle problem, making him a significant doubt for Thursday's second leg against Sporting.
Arteta may decide to rest the forward until after the upcoming international break, especially with Gabriel Jesus now an option in attack once again after the Brazil striker made his comeback from a long-term knee injury as a second-half substitute against Fulham on Sunday.
ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST
Arsenal have no players suspended for this match.
