Lacazette, Aubameyang out of Everton clash

Arsenal will be without the services of striker Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for Friday’s top clash with Everton.

The duo are currently unfit to take part in the game at the Emirates Stadium.

Gabon striker, Aubameyang is still out with malaria he contracted on international duty with his country.

Arsenal hopes he will be able to return to light training soon, which could see him available for next week's Europa League semi-final against Villarreal.

Meanwhile, in-form Lacazette, who has six goals in his last seven games, is struggling with a hamstring issue he picked up during Sunday’s 1 - 1 draw with Fulham.

In the absence of Aubameyang and Lacazette, Mikel Arteta could go for England Under 21 striker Eddie Nketiah and 19-year-old Folarin Balogun for the clash.
