Arsene Wenger is slapped with injury headache as his team takes on Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in their first Group D match of the 2014/15 UEFA Champions League.
French right fullback, Mathieu Debuchy suffered an ankle ligament damage on Saturday when Arsenal played Manchester City at the Emirate and he is likely to be out for between ten to twelve weeks.
Possible replacement Calum Chambers is also doubtful as the English young defender is also suffering from tonsillitis and chances are that he may not pass full fitness test to feature for the Gunners on Tuesday.
His absence could pave the chance for Spanish youngster Hector Bellerin to have his first UEFA Champions League cap at age 19 but Arsene Wenger has repose a lot of confidence in the lad to shine in Germany.
Spanish left fullback Nacho Monreal did not travel with the team due to a back problem he sustained from the City game and his place will well be taken care of by regular left back, Kieran Gibbs who is returning from an injury.
However, Mesut Ozil will be watched under a microscope as many an Arsenal fan has expressed a serious concern about the current form of the German football pass master.
The rest of the fixtures are as follows;
Benefica vrs Zenith St. Petersburg
Galatasaray vrs Anderlecht
Juventus vrs Malmo
Liverpool vrs Ludogorets
AS Monaco vrs Bayer Leverkusen
Olympiakos vrs Atletico Madrid
Real Madrid vrs FC Basel
