Arsenal XI vs Tottenham: No Trossard - Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest

Simon Collings @sr_collings24 September 2023

Arsenal are without both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard for today’s north London derby against Tottenham.

Martinelli injured his hamstring in last weekend’s defeat of Everton at Goodison Park and missed the 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday.

On Friday, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta did not rule out Martinelli making the squad. But the winger was not pictured with the rest of the squad in their final training session on Saturday, and is not involved.

“With Gabi we are still assessing him and so let’s see whether he can make the game or not,” Arteta told reporters on Friday morning.

“Thomas [Partey] for sure is out. And the rest hopefully available, we still have two training sessions but there were no big issues in midweek.”

Leandro Trossard was expected to keep his place on the left wing for Arsenal against Tottenham after scoring two goals in his last two games, but he too misses out. Gabriel Jesus starts out wide, with Eddie Nketiah through the middle.

David Raya starts over Aaron Ramsdale in goal after two solid performances, while Fabio Vieira gets the nod over Kai Havertz in midfield.

Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Vieira, Odegaard; Saka, Nketiah, Jesus

Subs: Ramsdale, Cedric, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Jorginho, Elneny, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Nelson
