Club Brugge vs Arsenal predicted XI is here with team news, probable lineups, latest injuries. Arsenal will be making their way to the Jan Breydel Stadium for an important UEFA Champions League league-phase game. They will be playing against Club Brugge on December 10, 2025. The Gunners will look to maintain their 100% winning record of five wins so far. The home team is dealing with a growing number of injuries which may create a better chance for Mikel Arteta‘s team to qualify.
Both Teams’ News
Club Brugge are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Van den Heuvel in goal; Siquet, Mechele, Ordonez, and Seys across the back; Stankovic and Onyedika in midfield; with Forbs, Vanaken, and Tzolis supporting striker Tresoldi.
Arsenal, prioritizing squad depth, opt for a 4-3-3 formation. Raya between the posts; White, Timber, Hincapie, and Lewis-Skelly defending; Nwaneri, Norgaard, and Merino in the engine room; Madueke, Gyokeres, and Martinelli leading the attack. Potential rests for Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard underscore Arteta’s management of a congested fixture list.
The Injuries & Return Dates
Arsenal’s defensive woes persists with Cristhian Mosquera (ankle, 6-8 weeks out), Gabriel Magalhaes (thigh/adductor, two weeks), and Kai Havertz (knee, long-term) sidelined. William Saliba (knock) is a doubt but could return imminently, while Riccardo Calafiori (limp) remains uncertain.
Club Brugge face a nightmare scenario. They are missing goalkeepers Simon Mignolet (groin, late December) and Nordin Jackers (rib fracture). Defenders Zaid Romero (back) and Lynnt Audoor (muscle); midfielder Ludovit Reis (shoulder); and forward Romeo Vermant, with at least six key absences through the month.
The Suspensions
No players from either squad are currently in suspension for this encounter. Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori serves a domestic yellow-card ban in the Premier League but is applied here. Declan Rice and Mikel Merino, however, risk missing the Inter Milan tie with one more booking in Europe. Club Brugge report zero disciplinary issues.
Players to Watch
The Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal) return to the Club Brugge vs Arsenal Predicted XI could prove decisive. As captain and midfield anchor, Hans Vanakenโs (Club Brugge) vision and dead-ball expertise (four assists in Europe) make him the creative fulcrum.
