Latest information on Slavia Prague vs Arsenal squad
A familiar but unfortunate story for Arsenal fans: Arteta's side could not leave Turf Moor unscathed, with Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyökeres both having to leave the pitch injured in the win over Burnley.
The severity of the two injuries is yet to be determined, but Zubimendi will definitely miss the match due to suspension for picking up enough yellow cards in the Champions League.
Christian Nørgaard is likely to make his first start in European competition, while Mikel Merino could be moved up front to replace Gyökeres.
Gabriel Martinelli – who has scored in all of their Champions League games this season – is also out with a muscle injury, along with Martin Ødegaard (knee), Noni Madueke (knee), Gabriel Jesus (knee) and Kai Havertz (knee).
As for Slavia Prague, coach Trpisovsky is having a headache with a long injury list before the match against Arsenal: Ivan Schranz (muscle), Filip Horsky (cruciate ligament), Petr Sevcik (cruciate ligament), Dominik Javorcek (knee), Tomas Holes (knee), Igoh Ogbu (hamstring) and captain Jan Boril (cause unknown) are all unable to play.
In Boril's absence, playmaker Lukas Provod will wear the captain's armband and play at number 10, while former Luton Town defender Daiki Hashioka is likely to start from the bench.

Latest football commentary on Slavia Prague vs Arsenal
Unfortunately for many teams, the number 13 was lucky for Arsenal in hosting Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, where Mikel Arteta's students poured four goals into Diego Simeone's shaky defense in just 13 minutes.
A routine goal from a set piece by Gabriel Magalhães set the tone for the goals, before Gabriel Martinelli struck and Viktor Gyökeres completed a brace to cap off the rout in North London. The win kept Arsenal's unbeaten record in the group stages, remaining unbeaten.
The Gunners are one of only two teams to have kept a clean sheet in the Champions League this season, alongside Inter Milan. They currently sit fourth in the group stage, behind Inter, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain – a position that would see them qualify automatically for the round of 16.
Under Arteta, Arsenal have rarely struggled in the early stages of the Champions League. They have now won seven straight group games and remain unbeaten in 10 European encounters with Czech sides, winning eight of them.
Arteta’s winning machine is also running smoothly in the Premier League. Saturday’s 2-0 win over Burnley was Arsenal’s ninth straight win, seventh consecutive clean sheet and cemented their place at the top of the table.
Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League and Champions League double are becoming very real, while Slavia Prague's European ambitions are much more modest – they are just looking for their first win in the group stage this season.
Coach Jindrich Trpisovsky and his team have only 2 points after 3 matches, including a dramatic 2-2 draw with Bodo/Glimt, a 0-3 defeat against Inter Milan and most recently a brave draw at Atalanta.
In the third match, both Slavia and Atalanta had many scoring chances, but the goalkeepers played excellently, creating one of the most attractive 0-0 draws of this year's Champions League season.
Slavia are 28th out of 36 teams with just two points, but defeat to Inter was their only defeat in all competitions this season. Slavia have also shown improvement in their defence of late.
In fact, the Czech capital team has kept a clean sheet in 5 consecutive matches in all competitions, most recently a 2-0 win over Banik Ostrava, helping them regain the top spot from arch-rivals Sparta Prague.
On the offensive front, Slavia have failed to score in just one of their last 27 home games in European competition, but they have never won in their four previous meetings with Arsenal. The most recent meeting was in the 2020-21 Europa League quarter-finals, where they were thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal in the second leg.
