Arsenal will be without Ethan Nwaneri for a spell after the Hale End academy product picked up a muscle injury against Brighton and Hove Albion. Mikel Arteta confirmed in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Carabao Cup semifinals first leg that Nwaneri suffered a muscle injury.

Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri is set to be sidelined for “a few weeks” with a muscular injury sustained against Brighton & Hove Albion.
