Arsenal have been forced to cancel a friendly for their Under-23s, with senior boss Mikel Arteta facing major selection headaches.
The Gunners’ Champions League destiny remains in their own hands, but they have ceded all the momentum to Tottenham after losing 3-0 at White Hart Lane. A Harry Kane brace and a Son-Heung Min goal earned Spurs a victory which puts them just one point behind their local rivals in the battle for a top-four place.
And not only was it a sobering night in terms of the result, Arteta saw a side already struggling with injuries delivered two further blows at the worst possible time of the season. The Arsenal boss was already missing Ben White for the clash with Spurs and stuck with the central defensive partnership of Gabriel and Rob Holding.
