Arsenal have received a major boost ahead of their Carabao Cup showdown with Liverpool on Thursday after learning the Reds will certainly be without Sadio Mane.
The Gunners host Jurgen Klopp’s men at the Emirates Stadium in the week for their Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg, following the 0-0 stalemate at Anfield last week.
Mikel Arteta has plenty of selection issues to consider ahead of the game, with a number of his players having been hit with injuries - the latest to be struck down being Portuguese right-back Cedric Soares.
