Arsenal will have striker Alexandre Lacazette available to face Rennes after his suspension was reduced.
The Frenchman was due to miss both legs of the Europa League last-16 tie, but can now play in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium after UEFA reduced his ban to two matches.
Lacazette was sent-off in the first leg of the last-32 tie against BATE Borisov for elbowing Aleksandar Filipovic. He sat out the second leg and the 3-1 defeat in Rennes last week.
His return will be a welcome boost to Unai Emery’s squad as they seek to overturn the first leg deficit to progress to the quarter-finals.
Arsenal had appealed against the decision to ban Lacazette for an additional two games beyond the mandatory one-match ban for a red card.
UEFA announced this afternoon that the appeal has been “partially upheld” and that the final game of his suspension for “serious rough play” had now been dropped.
