Mikel Arteta’s injury-hit squad will be tested again as their Champions League campaign continues
Arteta 'concerned' by Gyokeres injury
Arsenal’s injury-hit squad will be tested again as Mikel Arteta’s side face a tricky Champions League clash with Slavia Prague.
Arteta, already dealing with a number of absentees in forward areas, was dealt another blow with striker Viktor Gyokeres ruled out of this clash having been withdrawn at the interval of the weekend win over Burnley. That 2-0 success kept Arsenal six points clear at the top of the Premier League table and they have made an excellent start in this competition, too, winning their first three games of the campaign without conceding a goal.
They will expect a tough evening, though, in the Czech capital, with Slavia Prague boasting a strong home record and Arteta expecting to face a hostile atmosphere. Two points from three games represents a middling start as Slavia attempt to navigate out of the league phase — and a win here would provide a huge boost.

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal
Arsenal will look to continue their extraordinary winning run without conceding a goal when they travel to Slavia Prague in the Champions League.
Mikel Arteta’s side defeated Burnley 2-0 on Saturday and could equal a club record eight clean sheets in a row with another shutout on Tuesday evening.
The last time the Gunners conceded a goal was in the 2-1 away win against Newcastle towards the end of September and they are now within touching distance of their 1903 record, set across two Second Division campaigns.
Arsenal are also one of five teams to make a perfect start to their Champions League season - with wins over Athletic Club, Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid.
Arsenal made a statement with their 4-0 win over Atletico and there is now the opportunity to make club history as the travel to Prague.
