Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott believes the second leg of their UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final against Bayern Munich will be tricky for the Gunners. With the tie all square at 2-2, Mikel Arteta’s side will now travel to face Bayern at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, April 17.
Speaking to Football Daily, Walcott admitted that Arsenal could struggle, saying:
“They’ve got a job that’s going to be very difficult, I really think that Bayern didn’t expect to come to the Emirates and play that well, but they’re going to be missing a few players, and I do think Arsénal are going to really struggle, so it’s going to be a tricky game for me to watch.”
Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry are out injured for Bayern Munich, while Sacha Boey and Bouna Sarr are already on the sidelines. Meanwhile, for Arsenal, every player bar Jurrien Timber, who has not played since August, remains available to Mikel Arteta.
