Elneny, 23, joined the Gunners from Basel in a £7.4million transfer earlier this month.
The Egypt international has yet to make it onto the field in English football.
But manager Wenger says that could change when his side host the Clarets in the fourth round tomorrow (3pm).
"We have to earn the right to qualify. I will make some changes for the game," he said.
Francis Coquelin and Tomas Rosicky (both knee) are also in line to return for Wenger's side, while goalkeeper David Ospina will replace Petr Cech.
Danny Welbeck is back in full training but will not feature, while Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla remain sidelined.
Per Mertesacker is suspended after being sent off against Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend.
Arsenal provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Macey, Monreal, Gibbs, Koscielny, Gabriel, Bellerin, Debuchy, Chambers, Ramsey, Elneny, Coquelin, Rosicky, Flamini, Ozil, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi, Sanchez, Campbell, Walcott, Giroud.
