The three Arsenal players Unai Emery could be without for visit of Eintracht Frankfurt

Unai Emery has a couple of fitness concerns ahead of Arsenal's Europa League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Gunners welcome the Bundesliga outfit to the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night hoping to seal a first win across any competition since beating Vitoria at home last month.

But the under pressure Spanish head coach will not have a fully fit squad to choose from.

One player who won't be involved is on-loan midfielder Dani Ceballos.

He sustained an hamstring injury during the 1-1 draw against Vitoria earlier in the month and has since missed the defeat at Leicester City as well as the draw with Southampton.

Meanwhile, he could be joined on the sidelines by compatriot Hector Bellerin as well as left-back Sead Kolasniac.

The former was substituted against the Saints as the hosts pushed forward for an equaliser, while the Bosnian was an unused substitute after suffering an injury scare during the international break.

But will the full-back duo be in contention to face Frankfurt?

Ahead of Thursday's game, the Gunners provided an update on the trio.

'Dani Ceballos - Left hamstring. Sustained during the Vitoria SC (a) match on November 6. Aiming to return to full training mid-December.
 
'Sead Kolasinac - Left hamstring. Returned from international duty with tight left hamstring. Being assessed ahead of Thursday’s match.
 
'Hector Bellerin - Tight hamstring. Being assessed ahead of Thursday’s match.'

Lucas Torreira, Joe Willock and Matteo Guendouzi are available to make light of Ceballos' absence, while Kieran Tierney could get another start if Kolasniac is not risked.

As for Bellerin, Emery could pick either Calum Chambers at right-back or Ainsley Maitland-Niles at right wing-back if he opts to persist with a three-man defence.
