Mikel Arteta confirms winger won't face PSV Eindhoven

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Marquinhos won't play any part against PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League tomorrow.

The Brazilian had a superb debut against Zurich earlier this campaign where he scored his maiden goal and provided an assist.

He has since struggled for regular minutes and the winger is now sidelined for the Gunners' trip to the Netherlands to face PSV.

Marquinhos was absent from today's training session with an illness and he has not travelled with the team for tomorrow's game.

Aside from Marquinhos, the Gunners are missing the services of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mohamed Elneny and Emile Smith Rowe.

Arsenal are currently top of their Europa League group with 12 points, five ahead of PSV. A draw tomorrow would seal the top spot.

This would assure that the Gunners will make the last 16 of the competition without having to play an extra round of matches.

Arsenal will be in Premier League action against Nottingham Forest this weekend.
