Arsenal without two big stars vs Kairat due to niggles

27 January 2026 - 18:55

Arsenal will be without the services of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber for the Champions League clash against Kairat Almaty at the Emirates Stadium.

  • Chelsea make final decision on Jeremy Jacquet
  • Aston Villa to sign England striker for £18m



  • The Gunners are currently top of the league phase of the competition with 21 points from seven games and they are assured to finish top, provided they avoid a loss to Kairat tomorrow.

    Ahead of the game, manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Saliba and Timber won't be involved, having picked up niggles in the recent 3-2 Premier League loss to Manchester United.

    While the duo are sidelined for the encounter, the likes of Riccardo Calafiori and Kai Havertz could be involved, having been involved in training in Tuesday's open training session.

    Arsenal are huge favourites to beat Kairat on their home turf and anything less than a big victory would come as a huge surprise. Arteta could make wholesale changes for the encounter tomorrow.

    Barring the goalkeeper, there could be rotation everywhere else.
