All the latest injury news surrounding Arsenal and Inter Milan as they prepare to face off in the Champions League.
Arsenal are back in action on Tuesday evening when they face Inter Milan in the Champions League. The Gunners are currently top of the group phase and now effectively fighting for seeding in the next round, but beyond that, they will want to bounce back from their frustrating Premier League draw with strugglers Nottingham Forest over the weekend.
Inter are in sixth place in the group phase and only goal difference ahead of Liverpool in the play-off spots, so they will come into this one looking to protect their automatic progression spot. In Serie A, Inter are top, three points clear of AC Milan, and coming off the back of a narrow win over Udinese.
