Arsenal forward, Alexandre Lacazette is set to miss Arsenal’s entire Europa League last 16 tie after the striker was handed a three-game suspension following his sending off against BATE.
Lacazette was shown a straight red for an elbow on Bate’s Aleksandar Filipovic in the late stages of last week’s 1-0 loss away to BATE and will no play no part in either of next month’s matches against Rennes.
The 27-year-old has already served one match of his ban, sitting out the 3-0 home triumph over the Belarusian side in the return encounter at Emirates Stadium, meaning he is free to return for the quarter-finals if Unai Emery’s men do advance past their Ligue 1 opponents.
