Manager Unai Emery has confirmed Laurent Koscielny will start Arsenal's Europa League dead-rubber against Qarabag on Thursday night.
The club captain has not featured since rupturing his Achilles in May but is set to start in a much-changed side.
Mesut Ozil is likely to be involved in some manner following a back problem while Aaron Ramsey (ankle) is also back. However Konstantinos Mavropanos (groin), Rob Holding (knee), Danny Welbeck (ankle) and Shkodran Mustafi (hamstring) will miss out.
Emery said: "We are going to use tomorrow for some different players to come in from the under-23s and to start playing Laurent Koscielny again.
"We have some players with injuries at centre-back - we are going to decide after tomorrow's match whether Sead Kolasinac plays against Southampton. We are going to see if he can play 90 minutes, we can use another player in this position like Nacho Monreal and Lichtsteiner."
On Mesut Ozil, the Arsenal boss added: "Tomorrow he is in the group, the 18 players for this match. We are going to decide if he will play tomorrow from the beginning or during the 90 minutes."
Provisional squad: Leno, Martinez, Cech, Bellerin, Jenkinson, Lichtsteiner, Koscielny, Papastathopoulos, Medley, Monreal, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Elneny, Gilmour, Torreira, Willock, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Ozil, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Saka, Nketiah.
