Playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan is also a doubt for the trip to Spain.

The Armenia international returned from the sidelines against his former side, scored the leveller but was forced off in the second half after picking a knock to his recuperating knee.

“Mkhitaryan I took off because he had a little knock on his knee again, the same thing, just looking at him in the dressing room,” Wenger said.

“Ospina has a rib problem and Alex Iwobi has a hamstring problem.

“We’ll see how everyone recovers because Thursday will come around very quickly.”

Last week at the Emirates, a wasteful Arsenal side were held 1-1 by 10-man Atletico - who also had manager Diego Simeone sent off.

And when asked if any of the injured trio will miss the decisive second leg at the Wanda Metropolitano, Wenger said: “Definitely at the moment no.

“But we will have to monitor them in the next 48 hours. We will know more on Tuesday.”
