The manager was asked for the latest team news at his press conference, ahead of the clash at The City Ground, and Wednesday's 20:00 GMT kick-off has come too soon for Diogo Dalot, Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial.
Sancho has returned to training but is not yet available as he continues to build his fitness. Dalot was injured against Charlton Athletic in the previous round of this competition, while Martial has been absent since coming off at half-time during the memorable derby win over Manchester City.
"The players who were not available for the Arsenal game - Dalot, Martial, Sancho," confirmed the boss.
