Leandro Trossard is the latest Arsenal star to pick up an injury while on international duty this season with the Belgian's availability against Nottingham Forest placed in doubt

As the perception grows that Arsenal lack the clinical finisher needed to land a long-awaited league title, Arteta is reportedly eying a move for Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic. The 24-year-old has scored 50 goals in 117 games for the club, with his contract set to expire in 2026.

The latest issue for Arsenal on the injury front comes in the shape of Leandro Trossard, who was injured playing for Belgium in their defeat to Israel in UEFA Nations League action. The forward was substituted during the match with what appeared to be a contact injury, rather than a muscular problem.
