Arsenal boost as news coming out of Tottenham claims 3 key Spurs stars could miss Nld - report

Arsenal have injury worries ahead of the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, but they have been handed a boost as Spurs could also be without three key stars for the game.
Dominic Solanke, Richarlison and Micky van de Ven are most likely to miss the game against the Gunners having not returned to full fitness yet, according to Football London.

Arsenal will be without captain Martin Odegaard for the match after he was pictured on crutches on his way back to London this morning.

Italy international defender Riccardo Calafiori is a doubt for the game after he limped off against France on Friday, while Declan Rice and Mikel Merino are out of contention due to suspension and injury, respectively.

However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be able to reshuffle his cards, with the likes of Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Kai Havertz, Ethan Nwaneri, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Raheem Sterling all available midfield options for the Spaniard.

He will fancy their chances of leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with all three points, while Spurs will continue to sweat on the fitness of Solanke, Richarlison and Van de Ven.

The Brazilian forward came off the bench against Leicester City and Everton but was ruled out of their last game – against Newcastle United.

Solanke missed their last two games after he picked up an ankle injury against the Foxes, while the Dutch defender picked up a knee injury against the Toffees and was excluded from the Netherlands squad for their games this month.

Arsenal are looking to return to winning ways after their 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion before the international break, and securing victory over their bitter city rivals this weekend will be a huge boost.
