Arsenal provide injury update on Henrikh Mkhitaryan ahead of game against Rennes

Arsenal lost 3-1 away at Rennes Last Week and will be aiming to score at least twice at Emirates on Thursday night to overturn a first-leg deficit in the Europa League. The Gunners have four players on the sidelines ahead of the game, three of which won’t play again this season as Hector Bellerin, Danny Welbeck and Rob Holding aren’t expected to return to action until next season. Henrikh Mkhitaryan missed the win over his former club Manchester United (2-0) with a back problem. The Armenia International is in line to return against Rennes. Mkhitaryan is a key for Arsenal as the player has scored 9 goals and provided 10 assists in his 34 Europa League appearances at all.
