Latest Arsenal vs PSG squad information
Five Arsenal players are out with long-term injuries, with Odegaard (ankle), Mikel Merino (shoulder), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Kieran Tierney (hamstring) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) all set to miss Tuesday's game. Merino could return for the weekend's Premier League clash with Southampton.
Arteta has concerns over the fitness of Ben White, who has missed the last two games with a knee problem, so Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber, who have just returned from injury, could be rested on the flanks.
Arsenal's third goal against Leicester was an own goal by Wilfred Ndidi, denying Bukayo Saka the record for assists in each of his first five Premier League games this season. However, Saka has been involved in seven goals in his first five Champions League games at the Emirates, the most by an Arsenal player in his first five appearances in the competition.
Arteta and Enrique have both struggled with player injuries, while the French champions also have a number of long-term injuries, including Goncalo Ramos (ankle), Lucas Hernandez (knee) and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon).
Although Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vitinha, Marco Asensio, Desire Doue and Nuno Mendes have recovered from injury, only Donnarumma and Nuno Mendes are likely to start. Lee Kang-in scored PSG's second against Rennes after Randal Kolo Muani missed several chances, and both could start up front, with Ousmane Dembele absent due to a fallout with Enrique.

Latest football commentary Arsenal vs PSG
David Raya made a remarkable save to deny Ollie Watkins’ header against Aston Villa that is considered one of the best saves of the season. Less than a month later, the former Brentford goalkeeper impressed again with two saves from Mateo Retegui’s penalty as Arsenal drew 0-0 with the Europa League winners, although they were missing Martin Odegaard.
Keeping a clean sheet against a team that has beaten Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen is no easy feat, and while Arsenal are 16th with just one point, their Champions League position is not a fair reflection of their performance. While Raya was unable to keep out two James Justin shots against Leicester City, Arsenal came from behind to win 4-2 and go level on points with Manchester City in the Premier League race.
Arsenal are unbeaten this season and have scored 11 goals in their last three games, hoping to go three consecutive Champions League games without scoring, something that has never happened in their history.
Arteta’s former club PSG also struggled in their Champions League opener, coming from behind to beat Girona thanks to a 90th-minute save from Paulo Gazzaniga.
However, PSG won 3-1 against Rennes, with Bradley Barcola scoring twice to take his Ligue 1 tally to six. Ligue 1 leaders PSG will head to the Emirates looking to avenge last season's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle, and a reunion with Arsenal after eight years.
Although Barcola is a good replacement for Kylian Mbappe, the trip to the Emirates will be a test for PSG's attack, having been fortunate to beat Girona. Enrique is still without an effective striker due to injury, which could affect PSG against Arsenal, who only needed a set piece to secure their first Champions League win of the season.
