Mikel Arteta explains why Leandro Trossard will not feature vs. Spurs (video)

Arsenal are preparing for a huge North London Derby clash against bitter rivals Spurs.

Naming a strong starting lineup that includes both Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus starting in attack, fans have been quick to question why the in-form Leandro Trossard has not been named in the Gunners’ matchday squad at all.

Revealing the Belgium international has suffered a minor injury, Arteta, who spoke to Sky Sports’ punditry panel before kick-off, said: “He felt something.

“He felt a muscle tightness yesterday in training and he wasn’t feeling up to it to play the game.”

?? "A lot of headaches to make the line up!"
