Solanke's bright cameo ended in dismay for the Bournemouth striker on Wednesday, as he was taken off in the 85th minute with an ankle injury, and Iraola has conceded that it will be "tough" for his leading marksman to shake off the issue in time for the weekend.
Solanke has been welcomed into the infirmary by Emiliano Marcondes (foot), Alex Scott (knee), Ryan Fredericks (calf), Lloyd Kelly (calf) and Chris Mepham (unspecified), but on a positive note, Tyler Adams came off the bench for his delayed debut against Stoke after shaking off a hamstring injury.
Unless Solanke makes a quicker-than-expected recovery, Kieffer Moore and Antoine Semenyo will battle for the right to spearhead the hosts' attack, while Neto, Max Aarons, Philip Billing and Marcus Tavernier are all in line for returns to the first XI.
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Neto; Aarons, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Billing; Tavernier, Christie, Ouattara; Moore
Arsenal
While Arsenal came out of Wednesday's game unscathed - barring the tiniest of knocks to Emile Smith Rowe - it was a different story in the North London derby, where Declan Rice (back) and Bukayo Saka (calf) were both withdrawn before the full-time whistle sounded.
Neither man has been ruled out of this tie just yet, but Jorginho and Nelson represent competent alternatives, while Leandro Trossard (thigh), Gabriel Martinelli (hamstring), Jurrien Timber (knee) and Thomas Partey (groin) remain out of contention for the time being.
Despite sending Arteta a loud selection message at the Gtech, Ramsdale will likely cede his place in goal to a well-rested David Raya, while Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard are among the visitors' regular first-teamers set to return to the fold.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Vieira; Nelson, Nketiah, Jesus
Prediction: Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
