Arsenal return to action on the continent on Thursday evening as they take on Norwegian outfit Molde in the Europa League.
Having already recorded three successive victories in Group B, the Gunners will almost certainly qualify for the knockout stages as group winners with success at the Aker Stadion.
However, Mikel Arteta is currently dealing with a wide range of selection issues, something which will inevitably lead to rotation ahead of the Premier League encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news as they build up to their trip to Scandinavia.
