Arsenal will be without Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber for their trip to Sporting Lisbon for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Both players missed last weekend’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Southampton, and Gunners manager Mikel Arteta confirmed they will not be fit for Tuesday’s clash.

However, Arteta received a boost as key players Declan Rice, Gabriel, and Leandro Trossard are all available for the trip to Portugal.
Commenting on Saka and Timber, Arteta said: “They haven’t travelled. They’re not ready yet. Hopefully, they’ll be available for the weekend if everything goes well.
“That’s a massive boost because we’ve lost several important players recently, and that’s something we need to address immediately.”
