Arsenal vs Chelsea FC - Mkhitaryan unavailable for Arsenal’s semi-final against Chelsea

New signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan is cup-tied for Arsenal’s Carabao Cup semi-final
second leg against Chelsea on Wednesday night.

The ex-Manchester United man appeared in the quarter-finals for his former club
and is therefore ineligible to make his Gunners debut.

Aaron Ramsey (illness) and Nacho Monreal (leg) will be given every chance to be
involved but Olivier Giroud (hamstring) and Danny Welbeck (groin) will
definitely miss out for Arsene Wenger’s side.

Alvaro Morata and Cesc Fabregas will miss out for Chelsea when they visit
the Emirates.

Respective back and hamstring injuries mean they have been ruled out, but
Andreas Christensen has been passed fit having recovered from the head injury he
suffered in Saturday’s 4-0 victory at Brighton.

Thibaut Courtois and Danny Drinkwater – both owing to ankle injuries – and Gary
Cahill, because of a hamstring problem, face late fitness tests.
