Arsenal XI vs PSV: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Europa League tonight

Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli is on the bench but defender Oleksandr Zinchenko remains absent for tonight’s visit of PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League.

The Gunners pair are both struggling with calf issues, while Martinelli was also feeling under the weather on Wednesday afternoon. Martinelli has passed a late fitness test but Zinchenko has not been risked.

Both missed training on Wednesday, but Martinelli is deemed fit enough for a place on the bench. Eddie Nketiah is joined by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus in attack.
