Gabriel Martinelli is set for a Premier League recall when Arsenal host Everton on Sunday.
The 18-year-old Brazilian played just under an hour of the 1-0 win over Olympiacos before being replaced by Dani Ceballos, so should be fresh enough for the visit of Carlo Ancelotti’s men.
Nicolas Pepe could also return to the starting line-up.
Hector Bellerin can also return to his right-back position after being left in London for the Europa League clash.

Lucas Torreria was another who missed the game in Greece but his omission due to illness was a last-minute call so he could be included.
Mesut Ozil’s inclusion depends on whether or not his wife has given birth to their first child.
Arteta put Eddie Nketiah up to for Arsenal’s last league game – the 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle.
But Alexandre Lacazette has bagged two goals in his last two games so looks to be in favour of getting the nod.
For Everton, Andre Gomes could make his return to action. The playmaker has been out since November after suffering a career-threatening fractured ankle against Tottenham at Goodison.
Toffees boss Ancelotti said: “Andre is available to play. He trained well, properly, with confidence and without problems.
“My opinion is he is ready to play. Before the game we are going to speak together and decide whether he can start the game or if he goes on the bench.”
What are the odds?
- Arsenal to win: 21/20
- Everton to win: 12/5
- Draw: 5/2

What have they said?
Ancelotti: “We want to think about Europe next season. It is obvious to say that these next four games [Arsenal, Chelsea, United, Liverpool] are vital for us. They are really important.
“The more points we can get the more possibility of qualifying for the Europa League. The players know these games are more important than others – in these four games you can test how good we are. I think we are good but after that it is results that judge you.”
