The Gunners will rely on depth and versatility in the NLD

Injury concerns are beginning to pile up for the Gunners. With three huge matches on the horizon, Mikel Arteta will have to rely on a revamped line-up in order to battle the likes of Tottenham, Atalanta and Manchester City over the next twelve days.

Martin Odegaard’s injured ankle will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to see the extent of the damage, while Riccardo Califiori will hobble back to north London with a sore calf. Both men received their injuries while on international duty with their national clubs. This is why I dislike international matches during the domestic campaign schedule. Mikel Merino is also on the injured list with a banged-up shoulder along with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney. Gabriel Jesus could make his return from a groin injury on Sunday, but Declan Rice will be in the stands working off his red card from the match v Brighton and Hove.

With that said, the Gunners face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, on the road at Atalanta in the Champions League next Wednesday, then off to the Etihad v Manchester City on the 22nd.

So without the above mentioned players available, Arteta will need to revamp his line-up, at least for the North London Derby.

With that said, here’s a couple of possible starting XI’s the boss could put on the pitch Sunday…

Martinelli, Havertz, Saka

Jorginho, Trossard, Partey

Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, White

Raya

-or-

Martinelli, Jesus, Saka

Jorginho, Havertz, Partey

Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, White

Raya

Without Rice and Odegaard specifically available on Sunday, the Gunners will need to rely on their versatility and depth to push forward to win these matches.

COYG!
