Vivianne Miedema will miss Arsenal's clash with Leicester City after being granted a leave of absence by her club ahead of the upcoming international break.
The Dutch forward is the all-time top scorer in the Women's Super League, having scored 20 goals since making the switch to North London in 2017. She has also scored more international goals for the Netherlands than any other player, across both the women's and men's teams.
Miedema penned a one-year contract extension in the summer following another stellar WSL campaign that saw her register 14 goals and eight assists. Despite finishing 11th in this year's Ballon D'or standings, the 26-year old has struggled for form this term, netting just twice and bagging one assist in five league appearances.
