Sharing is caring



Ahead of Tonight’s Champions League second leg tie,  against Bayern, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard and forward Bukayo Saka will be assessed.


Odegaard was taken off with 10 minutes remaining in Arsenal’s defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday, while Saka was seen limping towards the end of the match.


Arsenal and Bayern Munich drew the first leg 2-2 in London last Tuesday.

The Gunners are hoping to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 15 years.

Bayern last reached the semis when they won the competition in 2020.


“The opportunity is there to write our story differently,” added Arteta. “It is about putting in a strong performance to have the right to be in the semi-final.”


Odegaard and Saka are both doubts, while defender Jurrien Timber is a long-term absentee for Arsenal with a knee injury.

As for Bayern, defender Alphonso Davies is suspended after he picked up his third booking of this season’s competition in the first leg.

Wingers Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman are all likely to be sidelined with knocks.
