Arsenal XI vs Bayern: Confirmed team news and predicted lineup

Arsenal Football Newsletter

Gunners captain Odegaard has been out of action since the start of last month after injuring his knee.

The Norwegian, however, took part in training on Tuesday afternoon and should be in the squad on Wednesday when the Gunners host Bayern.

Arsenal are still set to be without a recognised striker, though, as Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres were absent from training.

Havertz has been out since August with a knee injury, while Gyokeres strained his hamstring earlier this month.

Gabriel Jesus is back in full training, but Mikel Arteta has hinted he will play a friendly behind closed doors before returning to first-team action.

Gabriel will be out of action for a few weeks, at least, with a thigh injury, and so Piero Hincapie could start again in the heart of defence.

Myles Lewis-Skelly may come into the team at left-back, while Ben White is an option on the other flank.

Wingers Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke are both available, which has eased Arsenal’s injury crisis in attack.

The pair, however, are unlikely to be fit enough to start after only just returning to the fold following injury.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard

Doubts: Jesus (knee)

Injured: Gabriel (thigh), Gyokeres (hamstring) and Havertz (knee)
