William Gallas is in contention to figure in Arsenal's game against Dynamo Kiev, but will not captain the team.
The French defender's future at the Emirates Stadium has become a hot topic of debate after his public criticism of his team-mates in midweek.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger left Gallas out of his squad for Saturday's defeat at Manchester City and stripped the 31-year-old of the captaincy.
Wenger declined to comment on the former Chelsea defender's situation after the 3-0 loss at the City of Manchester Stadium, but chairman Peter Hill-Wood has backed whatever action the manager decides to take.
Gallas trained with the rest of the first-team squad on Sunday ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League tie at home to Dynamo.
Sky Sports News understands the centre-half will be considered for selection for that game, but will not skipper the side.
Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia was given the armband against City, while full-back Gael Clichy is reportedly another candidate for the role.
