Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report with certainty that promising Nigerian forward Andre Harriman-Annous will not be available for selection on Wednesday night when Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in a mouthwatering UEFA Champions League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Before the Gunners' first team take to the pitch, their U19s will host Bayern in the UEFA Youth League. 

Manager David Horseman has named his matchday squad for the UEFA Youth League clash, with Harriman-Annous conspicuously absent, fueling speculation that the teenager might be involved with the senior side later today. 

However, it is confirmed that Harriman-Annous will play no part in the Champions League fixture after being ruled out with an injury. 

The striker was initially expected to be included in the matchday squad but was forced to withdraw at the last minute.

The early prognosis is very encouraging, with the injury not believed to be a long-term setback.

This season, the Hale End Academy graduate made his professional debut in the Carabao Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion on October 29, and just six days later, he earned his Champions League bow, coming off the bench in a 3-0 win at Slavia Prague.

Harriman-Annous signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in August 2025.
