Arsenal injury, suspension news and return dates for Newcastle clash: White, Saka, Jesus, Tomiyasu latest

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's injury and suspension news ahead of their EFL Cup semi-final second-leg clash with Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Seeking to overturn a two-goal first-leg deficit, Arsenal travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle United in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Wednesday night.

The Gunners are in high spirits after securing a thumping 5-1 home victory over Manchester City on Sunday to boost their slim hopes of winning the Premier League title.

Mikel Arteta's side are now tasked with getting the better of Newcastle as they attempt to reach their first EFL Cup final in seven years and move one step closer to winning the competition for the first time since 1993.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Eddie Howe's side.
