Arsenal has been dealt another injury blow after Leandro Trossard was forced off just 37 minutes into Belgium’s clash with Israel on Sunday. The Gunners, who have already faced a challenging season with several key players sidelined, now face further uncertainty with Trossard’s fitness.
Trossard, who has been a standout performer for Arsenal this season, was substituted in the first half of the match and appeared to be moving awkwardly before being replaced by Johan Bakayoko. The exact nature of his injury is yet to be confirmed, but the sight of Trossard limping off the pitch has raised concerns among Arsenal fans and the club’s management.

This latest injury comes at a time when Arsenal is already dealing with the absence of players like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Ben White, who recently underwent surgery for a lingering knee issue. The club’s head coach, Mikel Arteta, will be hoping that Trossard’s injury is not serious as they gear up for a busy Christmas period and a crucial match against Nottingham Forest.
Belgium’s head coach, Domenico Tedesco, is expected to provide more information on Trossard’s condition after the game. Arsenal supporters will be anxiously awaiting updates on the forward’s recovery, hoping that he can return to full fitness soon.
The Gunners will need all their key players back to maintain their challenge for the Premier League title and progress in other competitions. As it stands, Trossard’s injury adds to the growing list of fitness issues that Arteta’s side must navigate.
