For the second time in three Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweeks, Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.4m) is flagged as an injury doubt.
The centre-back came off after 71 minutes of Arsenal’s midweek win over Atletico Madrid, with suggestions that he had been stretching his thigh shortly before the substitution.
Speaking at Friday’s press conference, Mikel Arteta confirmed that there was an issue.
“Big Gabi had to leave the pitch with an issue and he hasn’t been able to train yet. So, let’s see how he evolves over the next 24 hours and whether he’s available or not for the weekend.” – Mikel Arteta on Gabriel
Elsewhere, knee problems keep Martin Odegaard (£7.9m), Noni Madueke (£6.9m), Kai Havertz (£7.3m) and Gabriel Jesus (£6.4m) sidelined.
Piero Hincapie (£5.4m, groin) returned to the matchday squad on Tuesday night.
