Eberechi Eze has been left out of Crystal Palace's team for its Conference League playoff match on Thursday amid reports the England forward is about to join Arsenal.

The Gunners target won't be playing on Thursday in the Conference League for Palace, but what does this all mean for this availability for Arsenal in UCL, should his transfer be finalized?

Eberechi Eze will not play in Crystal Palace’s Europa Conference League play-off first leg against Fredrikstad on Thursday night ahead of his imminent move to Arsenal. Palace head coach Oliver Glasner said on Wednesday that Eze and club captain Marc Guehi would both start Thursday’s game despite their uncertain futures.
