Gabriel Martinelli will be walking the disciplinary tight-rope if he is to feature for Arsenal in the Europa League round of 16 second leg clash against Sporting CP on Thursday night.
With potentially a near fully fit first-team squad to choose from, and with a Premier League fixture at home to Crystal Palace three days later to also take into consideration, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his side just like he did in the first-leg last week.
Among the Arsenal senior players in contention to start at the Emirates Stadium is Gabriel Martinelli. Whether that be in his usual position from the left-hand side of the attack or leading the line - as was the case in Lisbon - remains to be seen, although he could drop out of the team altogether.
