Cristian Romero will be unavailable for Thursday's UEFA Europa League opener against Qarabag on Thursday.
The defender and vice-captain for the team is suspended for the clash having been sent off in our last UEFA match - our 0-0 Champions League quarter-final draw with AC Milan in March, 2023.
The Argentine picked up two yellow cards in the game which saw him dismissed with 13 minutes of the clash left to play and in doing so picked up a one-match ban, which he will serve on Thursday night.
Fellow defenders Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon are also ineligible.
On the injury front, it was a positive update though as, bar the players currently unavailable through injury - forwards Richarlison and Wilson Odobert - the squad is okay going into the clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
"We're looking good," Ange said. "Nothing from the weekend in terms of injuries, everyone pulled up really well so no issues there.
"Apart from the obvious absences (Cristian) Romero, (Djed) Spence and (Sergio) Reguilon who trained today but who, for different reasons, are ineligible."
