Sevilla vs Arsenal - team news as Mikel Arteta prepares for visit to Europa League champions

Arsenal continue their Champions League campaign with a trip to the sunny Spanish south coast to take on last year's Europa League champions Sevilla.

The La Liga side are serial winners in the second tier of European football but have never quite managed to make a mark in the Champions League. Indeed, two draws from their opening two Group B fixtures against Lens and PSV leave the side as underdogs against the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a much quicker start than against Chelsea last weekend as he returns to his home country. Here's the latest team and injury news ahead of tonight's Champions League match at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Arsenal team news

Arsenal star man Bukayo Saka recovered from a thigh problem over the international break and played the full 90 minutes against Chelsea, registering an assist. Mikel Arteta may be cautious over the winger's playing time but there's no real reason the England international won't be on the pitch tonight.

William Saliba was another concern over the international break but looked to have shaken off a toe injury over international break when also playing the full match against the Blues. Leandro Trossard is also fit again having withdrawn from international duty this month and will be vying for more playing time after a goalscoring cameo at the weekend.

Fabio Viera has had his injury niggles in recent times and his absence against Chelsea will have been a worry for some. However, it was later confirmed that his absence at Stamford Bridge was not injury related and he could return against Sevilla tonight. Defender Jurrien Timber remains a longer-term absentee with a knee injury.

Sevilla team news

Sevilla boss Diego Alonso also has an almost fully fit squad to choose from and will be able to field close to his best side when Arsenal come calling on Tuesday night.

Summer signing Mariano Diaz won't lead the line as he continues a tough start to life at the La Liga side with a persistent abdominal injury. There's also likely to be no rotation between the sticks with deputy shot-stopper Alfonso Pastor out with a knee problem, former Aston Villa keeper Orjan Nyland is likely to start.

There are a number of familiar faces in the Sevilla squad for Arsenal fans to look out for. Former Tottenham Hotspur man Erik Lamela is now playing his football at the club, as is former Manchester United forward Adnan Januzaj.
