Leandro Trossard injury boost but Arsenal set for late Eddie Nketiah decision before Sporting

The early prognosis on Leandro Trossard's injury is that it is not thought to be serious, football.london understands. The Belgian forward was forced off in the first half of Saturday's 3-2 Premier League win over Bournemouth with a groin problem.

"It is a worry," Mikel Arteta said of the injury in his post-match press conference. "He came to me and said 'I cannot continue, I felt something when I was tracking back after the corner'. We had to take him off and we have to assess him and see how he is."

Trossard is continuing to be assessed, but the early signs are that the injury isn't a bad one. The Belgian is unlikely to be back in time for Thursday's trip to Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League round of 16, however.
