Arsenal continue their Europa League campaign on Thursday when they welcome Irish champions Dundalk to the Emirates Stadium for the second round of fixtures.
Mikel Arteta's side were made to work for their victory against Rapid Vienna last week but eventually got over the line, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang once again the hero of the hour for the Gunners as he came off the bench to bag the winner in a 2-1 triumph.
However, Arteta's men go into Thursday's game following a dismal 1-0 home defeat to Leicester City in the Premier League, with Arsenal's old foe Jamie Vardy heading home with 10 minutes to go on Sunday evening.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's visit of Dundalk.
