The Gunners received a boost this weekend while Victoria Pelova returned from a long-term knee injury and presented the bench against Liverpool. Expect that the midfielder plays a similar role for Slegers Wednesday evening.
While Pavlova is back, there are doubts about the status of Kim Little after having taken a blow on Saturday. Laia Codina is another doubt after being absent this weekend.
Arsenal is certainly without Wubben-Moyy monkfish again. The defender missed the first leg and has been released for weeks by injury.
Arsenal predicted the vs Madrid programming (4-2-3-1): Van Domselaar; Fox, Williamson, Catley, McCabe; Walti, Maanum; Kelly, Caldentey, Foord; Russo.
Visitors suffered a significant blow during the first leg while midfielder Melanie Leupolz suffered a partial tear of the MCL on the right knee which ended the German season.
Leupolz joins Rocio Galvez and Teresa will Abellei on the list of long -term injuries.
Madrid was able to beat the national rivals of Barcelona on the weekend, despite some changes compared to the XI of departure last Tuesday. Sheila Garcia, Olga Carmona, Linda Caicedo and Caroline Weir are among the players who should return to the departure range of visitors to the Emirates.
Madrid predict the vs arsenal programming (4-3-3): Misa; Garcia, Lakrar, Mendez, Carmona; Angeldal, Toletti, Weir; Del Castillo, Caicedo, Redondo.
An Arsenal resurgence is expected on Wednesday with the Pitch of the Emirates forced to be much smoother compared to what they were subjected to the Spanish capital last week.
The surface Crisper will help the hosts, without a doubt, but Madrid will participate in this confidence competition. Not only were they impressively in the first step, but the Toril team then produced a heroic performance to beat Barcelona on Sunday. A similar plan should be followed on Wednesday, the Gunners find it difficult to contain their visitors to the breakaway.
The second floor has the compensation for a chess match and the state of the game is undoubtedly suitable in Madrid, which can absorb the pressure and the counter. The sustained pressure of the arsenal can be wreaking havoc, but the Liga F outfit will do just to advance in the last four.
