Arsenal take on Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League at Jan Breydelstadion, as Mikel Arteta faces the challenge of rotating while maintaining competitiveness against a side that has just parted ways with their manager. Whether the Belgian’s experience a new-manager bounce, as the cliché goes, remains to be seen.

There were even further injury blows as Max Dowman, who will be missing for many weeks, and Leandro Trossard missed out. Declan Rice (illness) and William Saliba (calf injury) have not made the trip as they aim to return for the weekend.
Gabriel Jesus is, however, with the team, having been registered after Dowman’s ankle injury. We will bring you all the updates, build-up, and team news in our football section.london live blog below:
