Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Newcastle United

Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Newcastle United on February 16.

Following a run of four successive Premier League draws, Arsenal return to action on February 16 with a home match against Newcastle United.

The Gunners have played out draws with Crystal Palace, Sheffield United, Chelsea and Burnley over the past month to lose further ground on the top four.

There are plenty of positives for new boss Mikel Arteta to build on, however, as his side prepare to welcome Newcastle after their two-week winter break in the Far East.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash at the Emirates Stadium.
