Arsenal Injury Update: Who Will Miss the Manchester United Clash?

Arsenal Face Injury Setbacks Ahead of Old Trafford Battle

Arsenal travel to Old Trafford on Sunday, aiming to build on their recent dominant European performance. After a seven-goal masterclass in midweek, Mikel Arteta’s side is full of confidence, but injuries could affect their ability to secure a crucial Premier League victory against Manchester United.

Which Arsenal players will miss the game? Here’s the full list of absentees.

Defensive Concerns for Arsenal

Arsenal’s defense remains mostly intact, but they are missing a key figure. Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has featured only once this season, is ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Myles Lewis-Skelly is available again after serving a suspension, and Riccardo Calafiori could feature at left-back.

No Worries in Midfield

Unlike other areas, Arsenal’s midfield is at full strength. Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Thomas Partey are all expected to start at Old Trafford.

However, due to injuries in the forward line, Ethan Nwaneri and Mikel Merino have been pushed into more advanced attacking roles rather than playing in their usual midfield positions.

Major Issues in Attack

This is where Arsenal face real trouble. Four of their five recognized forwards are unavailable, leaving Leandro Trossard and Raheem Sterling as the only natural attacking options.

• Kai Havertz suffered a season-ending injury, leaving Arsenal without a natural center-forward.
• Gabriel Jesus is also out for the rest of the campaign due to an ACL injury.
• Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka remain sidelined with long-term injuries, meaning Arsenal’s wide options are extremely limited.
