Arsenal team news: Cazorla & Gabriel to miss Barça game

Spanish midfielders Santi Cazorla and Mikel Arteta are among the players who will be missing when Arsenal host Barcelona on Tuesday. 

Both have been missing for a while and neither will have recovered in time to face Luis Enrique’s treble winners. 

Gabriel Paulista, who signed from Villarreal last January, will also miss the clash, meaning Arsene Wenger is expected to field Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertersacker in the middle of his defence. 

Wenger also confirmed that Jack Wilshere will miss out, although he added that everyone else will be available for selection. 

Former Barça players Hector Bellerin and Alexis Sanchez should start, therefore, while ex-Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil is also likely to feature.
