Mourinho cannot enter the Britannia Stadium but will travel with the team and be responsible for substitutions.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring), Theo Walcott (calf), and Aaron Ramsey (hamstring) are out until after the international break, while Jack Wilshere (ankle) is expected to return in mid-December. Long-term absentees Tomas Rosicky (knee) and Danny Welbeck (knee) are scheduled to return in January. Wenger is disappointed to have lost the services of so many players and is worried that their absences could negatively affect the Londoners during the busy Christmas period.
