Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed that none of Declan Rice, William Saliba or Leandro Trossard would be available for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Club Brugge during an injury crisis which he warned could be “really dangerous.”
The continued absence of Saliba and Trossard is no great surprise. Arteta warned after Saturday’s 2–1 defeat to Aston Villa that he would remain without the French centre back—and his first-choice partner Gabriel—for a “period of time.” Trossard was fit enough to come off the bench at Villa Park only to be forced off with a knock 40 minutes later.
