Eddie Nketiah faces a late fitness test to see if he will be available for Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Sevilla, after missing training on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old picked up a knock during Arsenal’s first Premier League defeat of the season to Newcastle on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nketiah, after scoring a hat-trick a week prior at Sheffield United, was taken off with just over ten minutes to go against the Magpies on a disappointing day for the Gunners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There are concerns that the Gunners could be light in attack on Wednesday night, with Gabriel Jesus already out of action.<\/p>\n
Martin Odegaard, who was left out of the squad at the weekend due to injury, was also absent from training on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If Nketiah is absent, it could lead to Mikel Arteta selecting Leandro Trossard or Kai Havertz as his main striker at the Emirates on Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville recently voiced his opinion over the Gunners finishing matches with Trossard – more known to be a winger – as a striker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said after Arsenal’s loss to Newcastle: ‘Arsenal have to do some business in January \u2013 they are ending the game with [Leandro] Trossard in attack.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve said this after a few Arsenal games this season \u2013 Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah at centre-forward are both very good, but I\u2019d like them to be my No.2 and No.3 strikers.’<\/p>\n
Nketiah has scored five goals in 16 appearances across all competitions so far this season.<\/p>\n
The Gunners could seal qualification from their Champions League group this evening if they beat Sevilla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They picked up a narrow 2-1 victory against Sevilla two weeks ago, with Gabriel Martinelli and Jesus netting the goals for the Gunners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arsenal could be light in attack with Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard also missing training on Tuesday<\/p>\n
