Tonight's Ligue 1 offering between Marseille and Nice was supposed to hand Arsenal an opportunity to run the rule over two loanees as well as several former players.
However, whilst Nuno Tavares is expected to be in action for the hosts - alongside Matteo Guendouzi, Alexis Sanchez and Sead Kolasinac - there won't be a mini-Gunners reunion with Nicolas Pepe as the winger has, unfortunately, been ruled out of the clash through injury.
Having missed the meeting against former club Lille last weekend as well as the 1-0 win over Lens in midweek, it has since been confirmed by interim Nice boss Didier Digard that Arsenal's £72m record signing has "tendonitis" in his knee and it remains to be seen how long he will be out of action for.
