Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has been left out of the Gunners matchday squad to play Sporting Clube de Portugal on Thursday.
The Czech goalkeeper has been left out of the side, with German stopper Bernd Leno set to start in Portugal.
Cech is not injured however, with the goalkeeper passed fit after picking up a knock at Watford that saw Leno drafted in to start a couple of weeks ago.

Former Leverkusen keeper Leno has impressed since taking over from Cech, but it seems like the veteran keeper could return to action at the weekend.
Cech is reportedly likely to start against Crystal Palace on Sunday, making his return for the first time since his injury against Watford.
Leno will drop to the bench again, but will be given a chance to impress against Sporting in the Europa League.
