‘IT IS A WORRY FOR GUNNERS FAMILY’: Mikel Arteta REVEAL new problem for Arsenal after Bournemouth comeback
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has confirmed a new worry for the Gunners with Leandro Trossard now picking up an injury against Bournemouth.
The Gunners looked to be in danger of a major slip-up as Bournemouth took a 2-0 lead at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta’s men roared back though with Thomas Partey and Ben White levelling it up.
There was late drama to come though as Reiss Nelson smashed home a last-gasp winner to give Arsenal a miraculous 3-2 win.
Nelson’s goal sparked wild scenes as Arsenal maintained their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.
Sadly for Arsenal, it wasn’t all good news on Saturday afternoon.
MIKEL ARTETA CONFIRMS ARSENAL ‘WORRY’ OVER LEANDRO TROSSARD
Arsenal were dealt something of a blow before the game as Eddie Nketiah wasn’t even on the bench.
Nketiah was seemingly out with an injury and that meant Leandro Trossard continued as the striker for Arsenal.
Trossard has played that role in Arsenal’s last two games and two assists in that time left Arsenal fans feeling comfortable with him up top again.
However, Trossard went down injured in the first half and was substituted for Emile Smith Rowe.
Trossard’s issue appeared to be in his groin and Arsenal now face an anxious wait to find out just how long he will be on the sidelines.
Arteta has now told Football London that Trossard’s injury is a ‘worry’ for Arsenal.
Arteta added that Trossard told him that he just couldn’t continue, suggesting it may be a little more than just a tweak.
“It is a worry. He came to me and said I cannot continue,” said Arteta.
Gabriel Jesus is working his way back right now but it may be a little while until he is ready to start Premier League games.
With Trossard and Nketiah now potentially on the sidelines too, Arsenal face some real qualms in attack.
