Arsenal XI vs Frankfurt: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and latest injuries for Europa League clash

Granit Xhaka could make his Arsenal return in tonight’s Europa League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Gunners skipper has not featured since his public spat with home supporters at the Emirates during the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace last month.

But Unai Emery says the Swiss is in contention to come back into his side against the Bundesliga outfit.

Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac meanwhile are injury doubts having missed training on Wednesday morning due to tight hamstrings.

Rob Holding and Bukayo Saka are struggling with knee issues but they came through the session and could feature at the Emirates, where a draw would see the Gunners reach the last 32.

Dani Ceballos remains sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Emery is wary about playing skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and other key men ahead of Sunday’s crunch clash at Norwich.

The Spaniard, who is fighting to save his job, has not chosen Aubameyang for the last two European games and instead selected youngsters such as Gabriel Martinelli.
