Arsenal will be without midfielder Abou Diaby and defender Thomas Vermaelen for their Champions League Group H opener against Braga on Wednesday.
Diaby picked up an ankle injury in the 4-1 win over Bolton, while Vermaelen has an Achilles problem.
The Gunners are already without injured attacking trio Nicklas Bendtner, Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie.
Braga, who beat Celtic and Sevilla to reach the group stage, are without banned duo Elderson and Leandro Salino.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has warned his players to guard against complacency with the Gunners expected to ease through a group that also contains Shakhtar Donetsk and Partizan Belgrade.
"For us, a win on Wednesday night is vital, because I believe the group is much more difficult than people expect it to be," said Wenger.

"Braga finished in front of Porto last year - we played against Porto and know they are a good side. Also, they have just kicked Sevilla out in the play-offs.
"Shakhtar Donetsk are one of the best European sides, that is why I believe it is very important we start well at home."
Arsenal should also welcome back rested full-backs Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy, while midfielder Samir Nasri is back in contention having recovered from knee surgery.
