Arteta could be forced to field a much different XI than planned against the principality side.
Arsenal have suffered another injury setback and could now be without seven first team players for their Champions League clash against Monaco.
The Gunners are currently seventh in the group stage table and inside the automatic qualification positions for the last 16 stage.
They have won three out of their five matches, including a comprehensive 5-1 win over Sporting Lisbon during the last round of fixtures.
Tomorrow's opponents Monaco are eighth and only behind Arsenal on goal difference, making tomorrow's clash a tricky encounter for both sides.
But it has got even more challenging for Mikel Arteta's side just over 24 hours from kick-off in north London.
Football.london reporter Kaya Kaynak has revealed that midfielder Thomas Partey was absent from training on Monday.
But in perhaps more significant news, the defensive quartet of Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jurrien Timber were also not in full training ahead of the game.
Timber and Partey will be concerns for Arsenal as they started Sunday's 1-1 draw with Fulham, with Gabriel, Calafiori and Zinchenko all absent.
