Arsenal have suffered some injury blows during the international break, ahead of their important game against Tottenham Hotspur on October 1.
Thomas Partey suffered a knock while training with Ghana and has been sent back to the Gunners for further assessment.
Kieran Tierney also suffered a head injury in Scotland’s game against the Republic of Ireland on Saturday.
Mohamed Elneny, Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson are out for the North London derby due to injuries.
Thankfully for Mikel Arteta, Martin Odegaard and Oleksander Zinchenko are both expected to be fit for the Spurs clash.
Zinchenko can take up the left-bak spot, while Odegaard can operate in a no.8 role – with Granit Xhaka playing as a lone defensive midfielder.
This can help Arsenal play the in-form Fabio Vieira and have a more attack-minded approach by playing Odegaard in midfield ahead of the shaky Albert Sambi Lokonga.
Arsenal’s best XI vs Spurs: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Vieira, Martinelli, Jesus
