Team news: White returns for Inter-clash | Team news | News

Mikel Arteta has made just one change from the side that played Newcastle this weekend, with Ben White returning to Inter Milan.

After not starting our last two games, White returns at right-back, while Jurrien Timber continues at left-back. Gabriel and William Saliba form the central defensive partnership.

Declan Rice is out completely with a foot injury, so Thomas Partey returns to midfield, with Mikel Merino and Leandro Trossard.

Kai Havertz starts up front with captain Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli on the flanks.

After missing our last twelve games due to an ankle injury, Martin Odegaard is fit enough to return to the bench. Our substitutes also include 18-year-old defender Josh Robinson and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, a 21-year-old forward. Both are yet to represent the first team.

The visitors make five changes to the team that defeated Venezia 1-0 this weekend. Top scorer Lautaro Martinez starts up front, but former shooter Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the bench, alongside Italian internationals Alessandro Bastoni and Nicolo Barella.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Partey, Merino, Trossard, Saka, Martinelli, Havertz. Subs: Neto, Robinson, Zinchenko, Myles-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Sterling, Jesus, Butler-Oyedeji.

Inter: Sommer, Dumfries, Pavard, De Vrij, Bisseck, Darmian, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Taremi, L Martinez. Subs: Di Gennaro, J Martinez, Arnautovic, Thuram, Acerbi, Buchanan, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco, Bastoni.
