Arsenal are back in Champions League action on Wednesday night as they travel to take on Club Brugge, and Mikel Arteta still has some injury worries to contend with in his camp

Everything you need to know about the latest Arsenal injury concerns ahead of the game vs Club Brugge...

  • William Saliba: The French centre-back has been managing a knock, causing him to miss recent matches and forcing a defensive reshuffle. He is considered a strong possibility to return for the crucial Champions League fixture against Club Brugge on December 10th.
  • Gabriel Magalhães: The Brazilian defender sustained an adductor/thigh injury while on international duty last month and remains unavailable. His absence is expected to last for several weeks, with a potential return projected for late December, possibly before the new year.
  • Cristhian Mosquera: The young Spanish centre-back is facing a significant spell on the sidelines due to an ankle injury picked up against Brentford. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the injury is worse than first thought, ruling him out until early to mid-January 2026.
  • Kai Havertz: The German attacker is currently sidelined with a knee injury that has kept him out for an extended period. He is working through his recovery but is not expected back until late December or early January 2026.
  • Leandro Trossard: The Belgian winger has been dealing with an ankle/calf issue and was taken off as a precaution during the recent match against Aston Villa. He is a major doubt for the midweek Champions League clash but could be back quickly for the next Premier League game.
  • Declan Rice: The influential defensive midfielder gave an injury scare after suffering a calf issue against Brentford, but he played against Aston Villa. His status for the Club Brugge match is being closely monitored, though he appears to have avoided a serious injury.
  • Riccardo Calafiori: The defender picked up a knock against Aston Villa and was seen limping, but he is also suspended for the domestic match against Wolves due to five yellow cards. He is available for the Champions League match, but his fitness needs assessment.
  • Gabriel Jesus: The forward is back in training following a long-term knee injury and is stepping up his recovery. He is closing in on a return to the matchday squad, with an expected appearance sometime towards the end of December 2025.
