Latest Arsenal vs Olympiacos team news
Captain Martin Odegaard returned last weekend from a shoulder injury and immediately made his mark with an assist from a corner kick for Gabriel's goal. This return leaves Arteta with only four players currently recovering from injury.
Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke, and Gabriel Jesus are all sidelined with long-term knee injuries, while Piero Hincapie is still recovering from a minor groin injury and his availability remains uncertain.
Cristhian Mosquera had his worst half in an Arsenal shirt on Sunday, making a mistake that led to a goal, before being substituted by William Saliba. Saliba is likely to return to the starting lineup, and Arteta is also considering a few other changes.
For Olympiacos, the two current injury concerns are striker Roman Yaremchuk and young midfielder Lorenzo Scipioni. Additionally, coach Jose Luis Mendilibar will be unable to register two key players, Remy Cabella and Yusuf Yazici (who won Ligue 1 with Lille in the 2020-21 season), for the Champions League group stage.
Nevertheless, Chiquinho is certain to retain his number 10 spot after an impressive brace last weekend, including a 96th-minute goal. Former Wolves player Daniel Podence is likely to start on the left wing.

Latest Arsenal vs Olympiacos football match preview
Arsenal's substitutes are becoming a highlight in the early stages of this season. In the last four matches across all competitions, manager Mikel Arteta has consistently brought on reserve players and made a noticeable difference.
The impressive run of form began with the European match two weeks ago at San Mamés. After a goalless 70 minutes against Athletic, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli assisted each other after coming on as substitutes, helping Arsenal secure the victory.
This left-wing duo continued to shine against Manchester City in the Premier League and Port Vale in the League Cup. Then, against Newcastle on Sunday, Mikel Merino equalized and Gabriel Magalhaes sealed a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory.
The fact that Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham all dropped points in round 6 further helped Arsenal close the gap on the league leaders, now just two points behind the defending champions. A victory at St James' Park could be a crucial turning point at the end of the season.
With ambitions of winning both the Premier League and the Champions League, Arsenal have reason to be confident. Recent history shows they have won all 13 of their most recent home matches in European group stages, keeping 10 clean sheets.
These numbers are not a very optimistic sign for Olympiacos, especially after their disappointing draw in the opening Champions League match at home against Pafos. The Cypriot team lost a man in the 26th minute and David Luiz was injured in the 33rd minute, but Olympiacos still couldn't break through the opponent's defense despite having 69% possession and 18 shots.
This result extends Olympiacos' dismal run: they have won only 2 of their last 21 Champions League group stage matches, losing 16. Away from home, they have lost 10 consecutive matches during this period, with their last win being against Dinamo Zagreb in October 2015.
Nevertheless, the Greek team maintained their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 domestic league after a 3-2 victory against Levadiakos thanks to a decisive 96th-minute goal from Chiquinho, continuing to lead the table due to a better goal difference than AEK Athens.
Olympiacos also have a rather impressive head-to-head record against Arsenal: winning 6 out of 12 encounters, notably including three consecutive victories at Emirates Stadium.
