Lokonga now set to start against PSV
The Evening Standard reports that both Lokonga and summer signing Fabio Vieira will be part of the Arsenal midfield tonight.
While Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding should be given the nod in defence. Eddie Nketiah is also expected to start up-front as Arteta shakes up his side.
The Gunners have been going strong in the Europa League so far, despite Arteta rotating his squad heavily for the fixtures.
They’ll face what is probably their sternest test of their group tonight in PSV though.
The Dutch outfit have scored the most goals in the Eredivisie this season and sit second in the table, just a point behind champions Ajax.
Just two points separate Arsenal and Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s men going into tonight’s game.
