Uncertainty over Aubameyang and Odegaard condition before Europa League game
Both players may miss an important 2nd leg match.
Mikel Arteta is as yet uncertain if captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Martin Odegaard will be good for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-finals, the second leg away to Slavia Prague.
When asked about the fact that whether or not both players will play the game he said, “It depends how they wake up. (On Tuesday) none of them could train. Hopefully (on Wednesday) it is a sunnier day so maybe it is better.”
“I don’t know, we have to see how they are. We still have a couple of other ones as well from the last few days, so we’ll have to see how everybody is and after training how they react for (Thursday’s) game.”

“The Gunners, be that as it may, have been floated by the accessibility of Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
Saka endured a thigh injury during a weekend ago’s 3-0 success away to Sheffield United in the Premier League, while Smith Rowe missed the outing to Bramall Lane with a lower leg issue.
Arsenal nonetheless, will miss the services of David Luiz and Kieran Tierney, who both have knee issues, on Thursday.
