Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Porto

Mikel Arteta's rampant attackers were neutralised at the Estadio do Dragao three weeks ago, where a last-minute Galeno stunner gave Sergio Conceicao's men an unexpected first-leg success.

However, the Gunners have responded to that setback perfectly with three successive Premier League wins, jumping to the top of the table with a 2-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg with Porto, who eased past Portimonense 3-0 in Primeira Liga action on Friday.

Gabriel Martinelli

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: March 12 (vs. Porto)

After sustaining a cut to his foot against Sheffield United on March 4, Gabriel Martinelli was absent from the Arsenal squad for the win over Brentford and was apparently seen on crutches after the game. There is every chance that his aides were simply being used as a precaution, but he remains a major doubt for the tie nonetheless.

Takehiro Tomiyasu

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: March 12 (vs. Porto)

Oleksandr Zinchenko recovered from his calf problem to come off the bench at the weekend, but Takehiro Tomiyasu's knock did not settle down in time, and the Japan international is unlikely to be back for Tuesday's game given the quick turnaround.

Jurrien Timber

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Jurrien Timber is gradually stepping up his recovery from an ACL injury in training and was named in Arsenal's knockout squad, but the Dutchman is still several weeks away from first-team consideration.

ARSENAL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match and will be welcoming back David Raya, who was ineligible to face parent club Brentford at the weekend, but Declan Rice will miss the first leg of a potential quarter-final if he is booked here.
