Gabriel Jesus will miss the game against Bodo/Glimt as Arsenal look to take a firm grasp over their prospects in the Europa league this evening. With PSV playing FC Zurich, the expectation will be for the two giants of Group A to win, taking the Gunners five points clear of third and maintaining their three-point gap to the Dutch side.
Eddie Nketiah is set to step into the void left by Jesus, although Mikel Arteta has handed an opportunity to another forward who could make his Arsenal debut this evening if called upon. Khayon Edwards, 19, has travelled with the side, his first matchday experience at senior level.
Edwards signed a new deal with the club at the end of last season despite significant interest from outside. football.london understands both Chelsea and Brighton made approaches to Edwards before he elected to stay in north London.
