Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will decide today, Wednesday, whether or not to hand Samir Nasri a starting spot against Barcelona.
The French midfielder suffered a hamstring injury in the Gunners FA Cup win over Huddersfield but has now returned to training and the hope is he will play.
Arsene Wenger will be hopeful he can prove his fitness ahead of the fixture, if Nasri misses out on the starting XI he could be handed a place on the bench.
Wenger will definitely be without midfielder Abou Diaby (calf), although Tomas Rosicky is available.
The Arsenal boss is expected to include Robin van Persie, Andrei Arshavin and Jack Wilshere in his starting line-up after the trio were removed from the action early in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Wolves at the weekend.
Barcelona have most of their key men available but defensive talisman Carles Puyol has been ruled out with a knee injury.
