Ethan Mbappe, the younger brother of Real Madrid superstar Kylian, won’t be involved at the Emirates.
He sustained an ankle injury in the international break, but even if he was fit, the 19-year-old is suspended after receiving a straight red card against Real Betis.
Full-backs Tiago Santos and Romain Perraud were both taken off the pitch after picking up injuries and now appear unlikely to play against Arsenal.

Arsenal v Lille prediction
The Gunners have kept clean sheets in 10 of their last 16 Champions League games, so that leads us to back an Arsenal win to nil at 1/1.
We expect Viktor Gyokeres to start v Lille and this is exactly the kind of game in which he should be opening his club account for the season after scoring all those goals for Sweden like a Temu Gerd Muller.
In fact, we fancy him for a double and he is 13/2 to score two or more goals.
