Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny’s resurgent season at the Emirates Stadium is set to continue on Thursday evening when Mikel Arteta’s side take on Dundalk on the Europa League, the London Evening Standard report.
Elneny was sent out on loan by Arsenal last term and it looked like his time in North London was coming to an end.
However, Arteta has seemingly seen a use for the Egyptian midfielder this time around, who he labelled as ‘excellent’ to BT Sport recently.
Elneny has produced some credible performances in Arsenal’s first-team this season and he is now ‘expected’ to start again in their next Europa League tie.
Arteta is likely to name a much changed line-up for the contest, as he will be keen to rotate to ensure that his side stays fresh, but two changes could be enforced upon him.
The Standard say that David Luiz will definitely be missing, as Arsenal still wait to find out the severity of his injury problem.
Willian could also miss out, as he has picked up a calf injury.
Again, Arsenal are unsure over just how long Willian will be out for at this stage, but it is reportedly unlikely that the Brazilian attacker will be picked tomorrow.
