Mikel Arteta delivered mixed injury news during his Arsenal press conference ahead of the Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen.
The Gunners boss confirmed that Martin Odegaard will remain unavailable but that Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori, who were both forced off against Mansfield Town, could feature.
He said: "Yeah, those two are a possibility that they are available, and we'll see tomorrow how we use them." Arteta also confirmed that all of William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi are available.
The former has not played since the win over Chelsea while the latter trio were not included in the FA Cup squad this past weekend.
Arteta's comments on Gabriel, Rice and Zubimendi after the win over Mansfield were certainly concerning, as he confirmed all three have issues.

He said: "Well, they had issues and they've been carrying issues. And the amount of games that we are playing, it's obviously super demanding.
"And it was the only time to try to make sure that we can clean those issues that they're having to start the next sequence of two weeks before the break in the best possible way. And we had to make those decisions."
However, they all look to be managing the problems with only Odegaard, Ben White and Mikel Merino missing open training on Tuesday morning.
The former has been plagued by issues all season, with a knee concern suffered back in early February still troubling the Gunners captain despite the fact he has made some cameo appearances in that time.
Merino underwent foot surgery and is pushing to return this season, while White has thus far endured another injury-ravaged campaign and has been absent since the North London Derby win over Tottenham.
Arteta was also asked about the fitness of Kai Havertz, with the Germany international missing some games recently through different issues.
He said: "Yeah now it has been three weeks that he has had total consistency." Havertz started in midfield over the weekend and could be set for a prominent role against his former club.
The Gunners are Wednesday's early kick-off with their first leg against Leverkusen getting underway at 5:45pm at the BayArena.
