Latest team news for Club Brugge vs Arsenal
Arsenal's defense is being, and will continue to be, severely affected by injuries in December. Cristhian Mosquera (ankle) and Gabriel Magalhães (thigh) will both be out for several weeks, William Saliba (collision) is still doubtful to return, and Riccardo Calafiori was also seen limping into the tunnel at Villa Park.
If Calafiori is fully fit, he is almost certain to start on Wednesday due to a potential Premier League suspension. Myles Lewis-Skelly is also likely to be in the starting lineup and is one of Arsenal's changes for this match.
Ethan Nwaneri, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, and Viktor Gyokeres could also be considered for a starting place, while Declan Rice and Mikel Merino need to play cautiously — a yellow card would mean missing the match against Inter Milan.
On Club Brugge's side, Leko risks losing both of his first-choice goalkeepers. Former Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet (muscle strain) and Nordin Jackers (broken ribs) were both absent from last weekend's defeat to St Truiden.
Center-back Zaid Romero (back), midfielders Lynnt Audoor (muscle) and Ludovit Reis (shoulder), and striker Romeo Vermant (concussion) complete the list of six injured players for the home team. However, they still have some noteworthy young talents.
Liverpool are reportedly interested in 21-year-old centre-back Joel Ordonez, while 20-year-old midfielder Aleksandar Stankovic — son of former Champions League winner Dejan Stankovic — is said to be on Tottenham Hotspur's radar.
Latest predicted lineups for Club Brugge vs Arsenal

Latest football match prediction: Club Brugge vs Arsenal
The Emirates Stadium witnessed a clash between two teams considered the strongest in Europe according to the league-phase rankings that day, as Arsenal made a big impact in the Champions League by maintaining their perfect winning record, making Bayern their next defeated opponent.
Although Arsenal lost their Champions League clean sheet streak this season against the Bundesliga champions, Lennart Karl's equalizer didn't mean much, and Arsenal now sit alone at the top of the 36-team league table.
In the 2024-25 season, 16 points will be enough to guarantee a place in the last 16. While there are still many possibilities that could be complicated, a predicted win for Arsenal on Wednesday would almost certainly send them straight into the last 16 for the second consecutive year, bypassing the play-offs.
Mikel Arteta's team has already secured at least a play-off spot and is now aiming for a tenth consecutive win in the Champions League league phase, while also extending their unbeaten run against Belgian teams to ten consecutive matches.
However, Arsenal have never won all six of their opening Champions League matches in a single season in their history. They travel to Bruges after a painful 1-2 defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League, leaving them just two points behind Manchester City at the top of the table.
Coincidentally, Club Brugge are also two points behind a Champions League play-off spot. They have suffered a dramatic decline in European competition since their surprising 4-1 victory over Monaco in the opening match of the season.
Having only earned one point from their last 12 Champions League matches — albeit a thrilling 3-3 draw against Barcelona — the Belgian side have been outplayed by Atalanta BC, Bayern and Sporting in their recent games.
A 0-3 defeat against Sporting in the fifth round pushed Club Brugge down to 26th place in the 36-team standings. They also face difficulties in the Jupiler Pro League title race due to a significant decline in domestic form.
Since their defeat against Sporting, Blauw-Zwart have suffered further losses, losing 0-1 to Royal Antwerp and 2-3 to St Truiden, leaving them in third place and five points behind league leaders Union SG.
That string of poor results led to manager Nicky Hayen being sacked just 48 hours before the match against Arsenal. Ivan Leko – a former Croatian international – will lead the team in his first game as new head coach.
Not everything is bleak: Club Brugge are unbeaten in their last five league-phase matches at the Jan Breydel Stadium. However, losing 14 of their last 18 matches against English teams leaves fans with little reason to be optimistic.
