David Luiz RULED OUT of Arsenal's Europa League match with Rapid Vienna because his gash from horrific head clash with Raul Jimenez has not healed - but club doctors insist he is in 'good health'

David Luiz has been ruled out of Arsenal's Europa League match with Rapid Vienna on Thursday due to the cut he sustained in a head clash with Wolves striker Raul Jimenez.

Arsenal have come under intense scrutiny for allowing Luiz to play on at the weekend after he was involved in a nasty clash of heads with Jimenez, who has since had to have surgery on a fractured skull.

The club insisted they followed all protocols before sending Luiz, who had blood seeping through a bandage throughout Sunday's game before he was substituted, back onto the pitch against Wolves.
