The Injuries & Return Dates
Arsenal’s defensive woes persists with Cristhian Mosquera (ankle, 6-8 weeks out), Gabriel Magalhaes (thigh/adductor, two weeks), and Kai Havertz (knee, long-term) sidelined. William Saliba (knock) is a doubt but could return imminently, while Riccardo Calafiori (limp) remains uncertain.
🚨 Some reports suggest that Arsenal are unlikely to add Gabriel Jesus to their Champions League squad for the trip to Club Brugge.

Club Brugge face a nightmare scenario. They are missing goalkeepers Simon Mignolet (groin, late December) and Nordin Jackers (rib fracture). Defenders Zaid Romero (back) and Lynnt Audoor (muscle); midfielder Ludovit Reis (shoulder); and forward Romeo Vermant, with at least six key absences through the month.
The Suspensions
No players from either squad are currently in suspension for this encounter. Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori serves a domestic yellow-card ban in the Premier League but is applied here. Declan Rice and Mikel Merino, however, risk missing the Inter Milan tie with one more booking in Europe. Club Brugge report zero disciplinary issues.
Players to Watch
The Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal) return to the Club Brugge vs Arsenal Predicted XI could prove decisive. As captain and midfield anchor, Hans Vanaken’s (Club Brugge) vision and dead-ball expertise (four assists in Europe) make him the creative fulcrum.
