Arsenal youngster Dominic Thompson could be drafted into the first-team picture for the Gunners’ Europa League clash.
The Express report that Unai Emery is facing a selection headache at left-back and could look to Thompson in order to give Nacho Monreal a rest.
Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles remain on the sidelines with their respective injuries, which has left Monreal as the only fit senior left-sided defender.
However, with games now coming thick and fast, there has been no let up for Monreal, who has been ever-present so far this season.
Emery could take advantage of Arsenal’s Europa League game to give the Spaniard a rest and promote some of the Gunners’ youngsters.
Thompson can play either left-back or midfield and is a regular for the club’s U18 side.
Arsenal face FC Vorskla on Thursday before games against Everton, Brentford and Watford before the end of the month.
