Europa League: AC Milan Hosts Arsenal - Match Details, Club
Lineups And Injuries
Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal will on Thursday night
battle AC Milan in the Europa League round of 16 first leg clash at the San
Siro stadium in Italy.
Wenger’s men, who have lost five of their last six
matches, including the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City and the
Premier League 2-1 lost to Brighton on Sunday, will hope to bounce back to
winning ways as they look forward to clash with the Italian giants.
Wenger’s January recruit, Aubameyang will not face
his former side, Milan and with Lacazette sidelined with a knee issue, the
Gunners need their midfielders to decide the flow of the game.
Nacho Monreal is also sidelined with a hamstring,
while Mkhitaryan is eligible to play for Arsenal despite featuring for Manchester
United in the UEFA Champions League.
However, Milan who have impressed since the
appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as manager, are unbeaten in their previous 13
games and have recorded six consecutive wins in all competitions.
Gattuso has a fully fit squad of first-team players
and most likely will feature a strong lineup against Arsenal.
Andre Silva and Cutrone are the stand out players
for Milan. Silva has scored six goals in the Europa league, one short of the
top scorer and will look to add to his impressive 102 minutes per goal
statistic. Cutrone also has four goals and an assist in the competition.
The Europa league looks like the only gateway for
Milan and Arsenal to be back at UEFA Champions League.
