Mikel Merino, who has been filling in as No.9, is also doubtful after missing the matchday squad for Arsenal's midweek game against Crystal Palace. The in-form Leandro Trossard could potentially take his place.

Defender Ben White's participation is also uncertain as he battles fitness issues following a long-term knee injury. However, Riccardo Calafiori could be included in the squad after recovering from his own knee problem.

Jorginho, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Gabriel Jesus will also be unavailable for the fixture. PSG, on the other hand, will bring a robust squad to north London for their away leg, with no new injuries or suspensions to report after their first league defeat of the season to Nice last Friday.
