Injuries have also been a regular thorn in the side for the Arsenal manager, with Thomas Partey back on the shelf and recently joined by Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe. Both strikers missed the trip to Tyneside with Odegaard picking up a hip injury and Smith Rowe picking up another knock which is likely to sideline him for several weeks.

Eddie Nketiah gave up the fight against Newcastle in the 79th minute and Arteta looked set to try another approach, but his absence from training ahead of the Sevilla game suggests otherwise.
