Arsenal will be without four first-team players for their Premier League clash with Leeds United on Saturday after the international break ends.
Leeds returned to the Premier League with success when marching to Emirates Stadium to face the top team Arsenal. Only three teams can stop Mikel Arteta's side from taking all three points at home this season as Los Blancos look to join Manchester City, Newcastle United and Brentford in that regard.
As at Leeds, the Gunners have a host of players representing their country during the current break in domestic football. And while Javi Gracia could curse his luck with Tyler Adams - admittedly before the international break - and injure Max Wober, they're not the only ones with problems. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard carefully managed to escape a malicious tackle from Manchester City midfielder Rodri during Norway's 3-0 loss to Spain on Saturday. The player agreed to continue but his teammates were not as lucky.
Gunners right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu has been ruled out for the foreseeable future after undergoing surgery for a knee problem. Mohamed Elneny also has a long-term knee injury and striker Eddie Nketiah wears protective boots after an ankle injury has sidelined him since early March.
Certainly the most worrying issue for Arsenal was the injury to centre-back William Saliba after the Frenchman left the field in the first half of a Europa League defeat to Sporting Lisbon. Some reports suggest he could be sidelined for months, but as far as Leeds is concerned, they are set to face Rob Holding, who is tipped to replace him in the match. their weekend.
