Arsenal have reportedly suffered what seems to be a major blow as Leandro Trossard was forced off in Belgium’s UEFA Nations League defeat to Israel.
Due to the withdrawals of Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka from England’s most recent Nations League team, Mikel Arteta is already dealing with injury problems.
Trossard was replaced just 37 minutes into the match, adding to the Gunner’s injury woes.
The North London outfit, who lost Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori during the September international break, will have yet another difficult break.
During the October international break, wingers Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka sustained injuries.
And now, in November, the Gunners will see Ben White, who was not chosen by England, miss time and Leandro Trossard pulled off.
According to the Daily Mail, speaking after Belgium’s loss, Domenico Tedesco confirmed the Arsenal winger was taken off due to injury, “It was a difficult game for a number of reasons.
“The players we brought out had never played or trained together.
“There were a lot of injuries before the game and we also lost Trossard and [Zeno] Debast during the game. It wasn’t a good game, but the conditions were very difficult.”

It now appears like Trossard will be added to the list of injured players, which also includes Riccardo Calafiori, who hasn’t played since Arsenal defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in October.
White, the England full-back, will be out for up to eight weeks following surgery to fix a chronic knee condition.
