Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Standard Liege

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash with Standard Liege.

Arsenal will head into Thursday's meeting with Standard Liege in the Europa League hoping to build on the club's first win under interim coach Freddie Ljungberg.

Following a run of nine games without a victory, the Gunners produced a strong second-half performance to beat West Ham United 3-1.

They will now look to claim their first away win of the Ljungberg era against a Standard side that lost 4-0 at the Emirates in October.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injuries and suspensions ahead of this fixture.


Dani Ceballos

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: December 21 (vs. Everton)

Ljungberg recently confirmed that Ceballos will resume full training in mid-December, which means that this meeting with Standard comes too soon for the Spaniard.


Rob Holding

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: December 12 (vs. Standard Liege)

The defender was assessed ahead of West Ham and did not feature, meaning that it will be touch and go to see if Holding returns for this game.


Granit Xhaka

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Head
Possible return date: December 12 (Standard Liege)

Xhaka was forced off with what could be concussion during the win over West Ham, which means that the midfielder is highly unlikely to be risked for this game.


Hector Bellerin

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: December 12 (vs. Standard Liege)

Bellerin suffered what Ljungberg described as a tightness in his hamstring in the warm-up ahead of playing West Ham, making it strongly unlikely that the Spaniard will feature on Thursday, although the problem is not thought to be serious.


Kieran Tierney

Another player to pick up an injury against West Ham, Tierney has a shoulder injury but the severity of the problem remains unclear. He is unlikely to be risked on Thursday.
