Mirror news, this weekend, Arsenal and Tottenham will have a fierce showdown in the North London Derby. However, with both teams plagued by a wave of injuries, as many as 19 players may be unable to play.
Although fans are looking forward to this game, neither side is able to face it with the strongest lineup. Here are the latest injury reports from both teams.
Arsenal may be missing 9 key players
Although currently performing well in the Premier League and firmly at the top of the list with a 4-point advantage over Manchester City, Arteta's team still faces many challenges.
Gabriel was substituted in Brazil's friendly against Senegal on Saturday due to a knee injury. The injury could cause the 27-year-old to miss at least four weeks and may not even return until January next year.
In addition, Timber received treatment for a knee injury during the Netherlands' game against Lithuania. Although he appeared in pain and was substituted in the 60th minute, he later posted a reassuring message on social media that the injury was not serious.
Meanwhile, Havertz and Odegaard are still recovering from their respective knee injuries, and Sunday's game may be too early for them. Jokres was left out of Sweden's World Cup qualifying squad after straining a thigh muscle against Burnley earlier this month, while Calafiore returned to England from the Italy squad with a hip problem.
Martinelli is still recovering from his leg injury against Crystal Palace at the end of October and is expected to return in early December. Madueke is still unable to play due to a knee injury he suffered in September.
Finally, Jesus has yet to return from ACL surgery in January, and while he is close to returning, he reportedly won't be ready to play until December.
Ten Tottenham players may miss the game against Arsenal
Tottenham will also face serious injury problems in Sunday's game. They currently have 10 players injured. Bejrivar has withdrawn from the Swedish national team due to ongoing concussion problems. News from the national team indicates that he may still be suffering from this problem and his ability to play against Arsenal is doubtful.
French media also reported that Mouani suffered a fractured jaw in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United and will be sidelined until at least December. Solanke has not featured for the team since suffering an ankle injury in August. Madison is not expected to return until May 2026 due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, while Kulusevski is not expected to return until January next year due to a knee injury.
Dragusin has not fully recovered from his anterior cruciate ligament injury and is expected to return to the game next month. Archie Gray may miss the game against Arsenal due to a minor calf injury.
In addition, Ben Davis, Bisuma and Kodai Takai may also miss this North London derby.
