Arsenal trio absent from training pictures ahead of Chelsea clash

Arsenal trio Bukayo Saka, William Saliba and Leandro Trossard were absent from the training pictures released by the club earlier today.

The Gunners are currently one of two clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, who are unbeaten in the Premier League this season.

They will be aiming to preserve the record against Chelsea tomorrow. Ahead of the derby, there are doubts over the availability of three players.

Saka sustained a muscular injury against Lens before the international break and he subsequently missed the Manchester City league clash.

Saliba delivered a sublime performance in the victory over the Cityzens, but he was forced to withdraw from France duty with a foot concern.

In his presser today, Mikel Arteta revealed that he has been carrying the issue for a few weeks which leads to questions regarding his fitness.

Alongside the pair, Trossard was another player that withdrew from international duty with Belgium after suffering a hamstring problem.

In the training pictures released by the club today, the €225 million-rated trio were not spotted which should concern Arsenal fans.

In our opinion, Arteta could be playing mind games with the Blues. Saka and Saliba are most likely to make the matchday squad.

Trossard could, however, be doubtful after his hamstring injury, but we would certainly not rule him out either for the London derby.

Arsenal have won in their previous three trips to Stamford Bridge and they will be hoping to continue their good run at the stadium.

It won’t be a straightforward game for the Gunners with the Blues looking more as a team now. They have won their last three matches.
