Hector Bellerin has been ruled out for at least another two weeks with a calf problem, with Sead Kolasinac and Shkodran Mustafi likely to be unavailable again after thigh and hamstring problems, respectively.
Emile Smith Rowe is still recovering from injury as well, although Dinos Mavropanos is back in light training and expected to be in contention in the coming weeks.
