The Gunners have experienced a challenging start to the campaign, earning only 19 points from their first 11 games in the English top-flight. The club is currently nine points behind the leaders, Liverpool, and they must maintain their position in the title competition in the upcoming months. The Gunners have been dealt a significant setback with the injury of Leandro Trossard, which occurred prior to the resumption.

In the 37th minute of Belgium’s Nations League match against Israel, the 29-year-old was replaced. For the Gunners, the £29 million-rated star had a promising commencement to the campaign.

He scored critical goals in the victories over Leicester City and Aston Villa. Nevertheless, his performance has experienced a substantial decline since that time. He was benched against Chelsea after the most recent international break, which was disappointing.

The decision was facilitated by Martin Odegaard’s return; however, the Belgium international continues to be a critical asset to the Gunners’ attack. Trossard has been an exceptional substitute for the club. His capacity to influence events in his cameo roles has earned him a reputation as a super-sub.

Trossard’s absence would be a significant setback for Arsenal, given the upcoming festive season’s frantic schedule. In the event that Trossard is inactive, Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri will be required to perform at a high level in the upcoming weeks.
