Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are preparing to go head-to-head in the Champions League next week, and Fabrizio Romano has shared a major injury update ahead of the game.
The Gunners have a host of injury troubles heading into this one, with Kai Havertz and Eberechi Eze both coming off against Newcastle United last time out.
Atletico also have their own fitness worries, and it's a crucial couple of weeks for both sides as they look to secure their place in the Champions League final.
Arsenal are also battling to lift the Premier League title at the end of the season, with Manchester City right on their tail after Pep Guardiola's side beat them last weekend.

According to Italian journalist Romano, Atletico Madrid midfielder Pablo Barrios is set to miss both games against Arsenal in the Champions League due to a muscle injury.
Romano claims that Barrios is hoping to be fit enough for the final, if the Spanish outfit can make it past Arsenal.
It could be a major boost for Arsenal heading into the opening leg, but they do have their own injury issues to contend with, especially after the Newcastle game.
