Despite initial hope that his hamstring injury might settle down in time for the clash with Bournemouth, assist king Bukayo Saka did not make the cut at the weekend, and the 23-year-old remains a serious doubt for the visit of Shakhtar.
Saliba's dismissal at the weekend also has no impact on his availability for the Champions League, where Arteta will surely consider a few rotations before the Liverpool game; Thomas Partey is a prime candidate for a rest.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Havertz, Rice, Merino; Sterling, Jesus, Trossard
Shaktar Donetsk
In contrast, Shakhtar have arrived at the Emirates with a fully-fit squad; fourth-choice goalkeeper Tymur Puzankov has been recovering from an ACL injury but made the visitors' 28-man selection.
The jewel in the Shakhtar crown - Georgiy Sudakov - will be pulling the strings against one of his reported admirers on Tuesday night, and the 22-year-old has made a brilliant start to the season domestically with seven goals and two assists in nine top-flight appearances.
Danylo Sikan also has a strong case to replace Eguinaldo up front too; the 23-year-old has had a hand in four of Shakhtar's last seven away goals in the Champions League, three of his own and one assist.
Shakhtar Donetsk possible starting lineup:
Riznyk; Konoplya, Bondar, Matvienko, Henrique; Stepanenko; Zubkov, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Newerton; Sikan
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Shakhtar Donetsk
