March 07, (THEWILL) – Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard is believed to have avoided a serious injury, but may still face some time on the sidelines.
Trossard has been playing as a central striker in recent weeks due to the absence of Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. However, he was only able to play for 22 minutes in the weekend’s match against Bournemouth before leaving the pitch with a groin injury.
Despite initial concerns, it appears that Trossard has not suffered a major injury. While he is expected to miss Thursday’s game against Sporting CP, there is optimism that he will be able to return to action soon. In the meantime, club manager, Mikel Arteta, will need to find a solution to Arsenal’s striking conundrum, as both Jesus and Nketiah are currently unavailable.
Nketiah is dealing with an ankle problem that could be more serious than initially thought, while Jesus is inching closer to a return to regular team training. The absence of three natural strikers will undoubtedly pose a challenge for Arsenal, but Arteta remains confident in his team’s ability to adapt and overcome.
