To put it mildly, the team fitness report for Arsenal’s upcoming game against Chelsea on October 21 will be extremely noteworthy. Leandro Trossard has withdrawn from Belgium’s international duties for this period due to a hamstring strain sustained during yesterday’s victory over Manchester City.
Along with William Saliba (France) and Bukayo Saka (England), he is one of the first team players from Arsenal who will remain with the team during the international break rather than taking part in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.
Within the Arsenal camp, there is a great deal of optimism that Trossard’s absence is more of a precaution than anything worse. It is believed that his injury is not significant, and in twelve days, he should be well enough to play in the London Derby. Likewise, for Saliba.
The French international and central defence played the entire ninety minutes against City, and his toe ailment this past weekend was not an injury sustained there, but rather a recurrence of a long-standing issue for him.
