Arsenal playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan dons No 77 shirt for Europa League clash with Ostersunds

Henrikh Mkhitaryan may be known as Arsenal's new No 7 but that wasn't the case as the Gunners geared up for Thursday's Europa League clash with Ostersunds.

The Armenian had to pull on the No 77 shirt for the clash in Sweden with Alexis Sanchez having already worn his number in the tournament earlier this season.

Mkhitaryan may have inherited the iconic number from Sanchez, who moved to Manchester United in the January swap deal, but he will have to settle for the next best thing for the remainder of the team's European campaign.
