Real Madrid vs. Arsenal Team News
Real Madrid Team News
Due to a string of yellow cards, Real Madrid will also be missing their key player, Aurelien Tchouameni, for the opening leg at the Emirates.
Ferland Mendy (muscle), Thibaut Courtois (muscle), and former Gunner Dani Ceballos (calf) are expected to recover from the injuries that kept them out of the Valencia match. The Frenchman replaces Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, who are both sidelined for the season due to knee issues.
Due to number two Andriy Lunin's calf issue, Ancelotti was forced to start 19-year-old goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez over the weekend. However, if Courtois fails a late fitness test, the Ukrainian will start in goal.
But after a UEFA inquiry into their celebrations against Atletico, concerns that Kylian Mbappe, Ceballos, Antonio Rudiger, and Vinicius Junior might miss the first leg due to suspension did not materialize; instead, they were fined.
Arsenal Team News
This week, versatile defender Riccardo Calafiori, the banned Raheem Sterling, and four long-time Arsenal absentees — Gabriel Jesus (knee), Kai Havertz (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), and Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring)—will all watch helplessly.
At Goodison Park, Arteta calmed concerns about a new problem for substitute striker Mikel Merino. The Spaniard sustained an injury to his head, but he should be allowed to line up in an attack bolstered by Bukayo Saka.
Since recovering from a hamstring injury, the Hale End hero has made two substitute appearances without suffering any injuries. He is now anticipated to make his first start of 2025, joining players like Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Martinelli in the starting lineup.
