The Gunners remain without Emile Smith Rowe (groin) and Mohamed Elneny (hamstring), but Arteta is not worried about injuries going into the game.
Cedric Soares is now fit after missing out on a win over Tottenham with the right-back set to return to training ahead of the Bodo/Glimt clash to give the Arsenal boss more options. Rotation is probably so hectic with the schedule, especially as Liverpool visit the Emirates this weekend.

Confidence could hardly be higher in the Arsenal side entering the game and it will remain so no matter which side Arteta chooses.
