Arsenalâs injury woes deepened during the international break as Leandro Trossard was forced off with an injury in Belgiumâs UEFA Nations League fixture against Israel on Sunday.
The Gunners have been plagued by fitness setbacks this season, with several key players sidelined at crucial moments. Captain Martin Ădegaard, who sustained an injury during the September international break with Norway, has only just returned to full fitness, featuring in Arsenalâs recent Champions League win over Inter Milan.
Similarly, England internationals Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice were withdrawn from the current international break following injuries sustained in Arsenalâs 1-1 draw with Chelsea. Ben White also underwent a minor medical procedure last week to address lingering joint issues, sidelining him for up to eight weeks. The versatile defender has already missed games against Leicester City, Southampton, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bolton.
