The full Arsenal squad confirmed ahead of Arsenal's Europa League clash with Molde

Arsenal are just one win away from booking their spot in the Europa League knockout stages but they face a stern test this evening amid a number of injury issues.

The Gunners are in Norway this evening to take on Molde, the team in closest proximity to Mikel Arteta's men in Group B after the first three games.

Arsenal currently lead the group with nine points from their first three games, and a win this evening will put them six points ahead of Molde, who currently have six points, with a superior head-to-head advantage, sealing qualification to the next round with two games to spare.

Molde v Arsenal: Cedric Soares pre match press conference

In the return fixture, the Gunners won 4-1 and they will be hoping things are as easy this evening, but Arteta won't be helped by a number of injury concerns.

Young star Bukayo Saka suffered a dead leg in the weekend's draw with Leeds and has not travelled to Norway for the Europa League clash.

Arteta confirmed in his pre-match press conference: "He was in a lot of pain in the last few days. We will have to assess what will happen a day before the (Wolves) game.

"Whether he's fit or not we will try to find the players against Wolves."

And winger Willian also stayed at home, along with Thomas Partey, who is still recovering from a thigh injury.

Mohamed Elneny and Sead Kolasinac are also out having tested positive for coronavirus recently, and Pablo Mari and Gabriel Martinelli remain out despite nearing a return.

Below we run you through the full squad at Arteta's disposal for tonight's Europa League clash.

Goalkeepers: Bernd Leno, Alex Runarsson, Matt Macey, Karl Hein, James Hillson, Arthur Okwonko.
