Set to face Sporting CP in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, Arsenal might be dealing once again with the absence of star Bukayo Saka. Arsenal host the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash against Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium this Wednesday, looking to protect a slim lead and advance to the final four. While the Gunners enter as heavy favorites, star winger Bukayo Saka has been entirely left out of the Gunners’ squad. Bukayo Saka won’t be featuring in the return leg against Sporting CP due to injury. The England international was widely expected to return for Saturday’s fixture against Bournemouth but failed to make the squad; his subsequent absence from Tuesday’s training session further dims the prospects of him playing a role in this continental decider. Manager Mikel Arteta was noncommittal when asked if Saka or defender Jurrien Timber might return to the fold, offering only that “maybe one of them” could be involved. However, when pressed on the nature of the winger’s injury and its recent persistence, the Spaniard provided a bit more clarity for the worried Emirates faithful. “It’s something that he was carrying for a while. It was an Achilles issue,” Arteta said. “It’s progression but hopefully it’s going to be a matter of days and not weeks. But he has to see when the load is more how he responds to that kind of progression,” he added. Eberechi Eze, Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber of Arsenal. Arsenal navigating a fitness crisis Saka isn’t the only concern for a depleted Arsenal squad; Tuesday’s training session raised red flags regarding several other key contributors. Missing from the main group were midfield anchors Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, along with defender Riccardo Calafiori. While Rice has reportedly recovered and should be available for selection, significant questions remain over whether Odegaard and Calafiori are fit enough to start. This personnel crunch may force Arteta to lean on his depth as he looks to defend a narrow 1-0 aggregate advantage in the Champions League clash. Confirmed lineups for Arsenal and Sporting CP Arsenal’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): David Raya; Cristhian Mosquera, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie; Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice; Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Gabriel Martinelli; Viktor Gyokeres. Head coach: Mikel Arteta. Sporting CP’s confirmed lineup (4-2-3-1): Rui Silva; Eduardo Quaresma, Ousmane Diomande, Goncalo Inacio, Maximiliano Araujo; Morten Hjulmand, Hidemasa Morita; Geny Catamo, Francisco Trincao, Pedro Goncalves; Luis Javier Suarez. Head coach: Rui Borges.

With a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg against Sporting CP, Arsenal are on the verge of securing the ticket to the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Arsenal host Sporting CP at the Emirates Stadium this Wednesday, looking to punch their ticket to the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semifinals. Coming off a crucial first-leg victory, the Gunners have several paths to the next round as they look to navigate this quarterfinal clash. In a thrilling opening leg at the Jose Alvalade Stadium, David Raya emerged as the hero for Arsenal, with the Spanish goalkeeper forced into a string of high-caliber saves to keep Sporting at bay. In the dying moments of the match, Gabriel Martinelli perfectly picked out Kai Havertz, who slotted home the only goal of the series to give the Gunners the advantage heading into the home leg. Despite the first-leg win, a 2-1 weekend stumble against Bournemouth has dented Arsenal’s momentum, and Mikel Arteta must now navigate several key absences for the return leg. Conversely, Sporting CP head to London buoyed by a 1-0 away win against Estrela Amadora in Liga Portugal, a result that could serve as a confidence booster for this afternoon’s high-stakes tilt.

In the semifinals, Arsenal would move on to face Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid, a side they have already dismantled in this year’s competition. During the league phase, the Gunners secured a dominant 4-0 win at the Emirates, a result that stands as a promising omen for their hopes of maintaining an unbeaten run. How an Arsenal draw affects the UEFA Champions League bracket Should Arsenal play to a draw against Sporting CP at the Emirates, the Gunners would still advance to the next round regardless of the scoreline. Thanks to the 1-0 advantage secured in Lisbon, a stalemate would be insufficient for the Leoes to overturn the deficit. How an Arsenal defeat affects the UEFA Champions League bracket If Sporting manage to pull off an upset on Wednesday, the fallout will depend entirely on the margin of victory. A one-goal defeat for the Gunners would send the match into extra time, with a penalty shootout looming if the aggregate score remains deadlocked after 120 minutes. However, if Arsenal are beaten by two or more goals on home soil, Sporting CP would complete the comeback and advance to the semifinals. Such a result would deal the Gunners their first (and final) defeat of the current Champions League campaign.
