Yesterday Arsenal were forced to draw 2-2 against Sporting in the Europa League round of 16th
Despite playing well, Arsenal seemed to have a challenge in the finishing area. Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta noted that the absence of some of his attackers was a challenge
Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the away result believing his team can do better in the game they will play at home
Despite returning to training this week, striker Gabriel Jesus has not yet had a chance to feature
Many wanted to see Jesus in the squad for their first Europa League match after the striker returned to training but Arteta is in no rush believing there are still enough games for him to help the team
Gabriel Martinelli started in the attacking area when Jesus and Eddie Nketiah were missing
Leandro Trossard was also missing and so Emile Smith Rowe became the striker who remained in the reserve area
Arsenal had the ball most of the time although Sporting created more open chances
