Leandro Trossard Injury Update
Leandro Trossard is a major doubt for Arsenal's next match after going off injured against Bayern Munich. The club is still waiting for a clear diagnosis on his problem.
Mikel Arteta has only said that Trossard felt something during the game so the staff took him off to avoid making the injury worse. The manager stressed that the club did not want to take any risk with him in the middle of a very busy run of fixtures.
Trossard started the Champions League game against Bayern Munich and then came off before half time after feeling discomfort. He was replaced by Noni Madueke who later scored in a 3 to 1 win for Arsenal.
Reports suggest it is a muscle issue rather than a clear impact knock which usually raises concern about short term availability. The exact muscle and the grade of the problem are not confirmed which is why the club lists him as a doubt instead of fully ruled out.
For now there is no official timeline and the expected return date is listed as unknown in some injury round ups. The medical team plans more tests and scans to work out how serious the problem is before giving a firm update.
Arsenal face Chelsea next in the Premier League in what is being billed as a key game near the top of the table. Multiple outlets describe Trossard as a major doubt for that match because of the muscle concern and the lack of full information from scans.
Arteta has only gone as far as saying that the staff do not know yet and that they will assess him in the days before the game. Until the scans are complete it is safer to assume he might miss Chelsea even if a late turnaround is still possible.
Trossard has been one of Arsenal's form players this season with several goals and assists in the league and in Europe. His performances in recent weeks helped cover for other attacking injuries and made him a regular starter on the left side of the attack.
Arsenal already have fitness issues with Gabriel Jesus Kai Havertz Viktor Gyokeres and defender Gabriel also managing problems. Losing Trossard even for a short spell would reduce options in the front line at a time when the schedule is very demanding.
The key next step is the result of the detailed scans that will show how serious the muscle problem is. Once that information is available the club is likely to provide a clearer statement on whether he can face Chelsea or needs a longer rest.
For now the most accurate summary is that Trossard is injured listed as a muscle issue withdrawn as a precaution and viewed as a major doubt for the Chelsea game. Any change will depend on how he reacts in treatment over the next few days.
