Bodo/Glimt vs Arsenal Match Preview
After a deserved victory against Liverpool in their immediate past game, Arsenal make a confident trip to Norway to take on Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa League as their fourth group stage game.
Having won 3:0 in the first leg, the Gunners will be looking to do a double against the Norwegian side who has 4 points in 3 games and sits just below them and above 3rd place PSV in the Group A.
Fresh off their league game also after securing a 4-1 victory, The Yellow Hordes are not doing bad themselves with just two points off the table toppers, a victory from this fixture will put them in a very good way to the Knockout rounds.
Bodo/Glimt Injury Update
Arteta’s men are ready to make it three wins from three games. The absence of Mohamed Elneny who is out to hamstring, Emile Smith Rowe (groin), and Zinchenko who is not fully fit could either affect or not the performance of the Gunners tonight.
Gabriel Jesus also would be resting tonight as the Brazilian have had too many games to take. “We felt that with everything he’s been through in the last few weeks that it would be better for him to stay at home.” Arteta replied on why Gabriel Jesus has been left behind.
Kjetil Knutsen’s side are not full to the brim either as they would be doing without Sondre Fet and Gaute Hoberg Vett who are both suffering from knee and hip injury respectively.
However, Bodø/Glimt’s Hugo Vetlesen who has registered seven goal contributions across his last six competitive appearances is fit and would be part of the action.
