Enduring a rough three-game winless streak in the Premier League, Arsenal have some wrongs to right in Wednesday's tantalising Champions League clash with Inter Milan at San Siro.
Mikel Arteta's toothless troops were deservedly beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United on Saturday lunchtime, where an Alexander Isak header made the difference in the first half.
Taking just one point from the last nine on offer in the top flight, the Gunners have at least made an unbeaten start to the 2024-25 Champions League, edging out Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 on matchday three to sit ninth in the rankings.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Nerazzurri, who also have seven points to show from their opening three European contests this term.
