Arsenal star suspended for UCL clash vs Slavia Prague

Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi won't play any part against Slavia Prague in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

The Gunners have won nine games on the bounce. They will be eyeing a tenth victory against Slavia on the road. Ahead of the game, the club will be missing the services of Zubimendi.

The Spain international picked up a muscle injury against Burnley in the Premier League and he will be assessed for the games ahead. However, he won't play any part on Tuesday.

Zubimendi has already hit the threshold for a European suspension with three yellow cards, and he is therefore banned for the upcoming trip.

Arsenal will be hoping that the midfielder's injury is not anything serious and he can recover in time for next weekend's league game against Sunderland.

The Gunners are on a nine-match winning streak and are big favourites to beat Slavia to extend their run. Mikel Arteta could make several changes for the game.
