Club staff will assess both Monreal and Gibbs at the club’s training headquarters on Monday, but the Gunners do not seem optimistic that either will make it for Wednesday evening’s game, potentially meaning that midfielder Mathieu Flamini will be deployed as an emergency left back.
Wenger’s only other option could be to promote Marc Bola to the club’s senior squad, although even he is more comfortable in a central defensive role for the development side.
