David Raya’s incredible double save from Mateo Retegui’s penalty ensured Arsenal avoided defeat in Bergamo. But the Gunners cannot rely solely on the Spaniard to stop Erling Haaland, with centre-halves Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba key to stifling the free-scoring Norwegian.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he does not know the timescale of Martin Odegaard's injury. The midfielder has been out for the Gunners since the international break, missing the north London derby win over Tottenham last weekend and the 0-0 midweek Champions League draw with Atalanta.

Arsenal were blunt and uninspiring as Atalanta held them go a goalless draw in their Champions League opener in Bergamo. Bukayo Saka threatened with a low free-kick in the first period and Gabriel Martinelli blazed over at the near post in the second, but that was all the Gunners could muster on a disappointing evening for Mikel Arteta 's men.
