Arsenal will still go into the second leg against Slavia Prague as favourites to advance, but they will need to turn up this time.
A report from The Metro indicated that there were a few injury concerns ahead of this one, with Martin Odegaard and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang listed as key doubts.
Neither player has been officially ruled out at this point, but it does look like they were forced to miss the training session today:

Miguel Azeez is becoming involved with the first team on a regular basis so that is a good thing to see, while perhaps this could also be Balogun’s time to show that he’s an immediate first team option for Arteta.
Still we love arsenal
