Taking no risks! Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard set to miss Arsenal's midweek Brentford clash as Gunners sweat on injuries

Premier League

Manchester United

Arsenal

The Gunners are keen to remain competitive on multiple fronts this season, with major silverware being chased down. Mikel Arteta will, however, not look to rush key men who are nursing untimely knocks back into action.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Arsenal saw record signing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/mikel-arteta-declan-rice-injury-spurs/bltbfe8bfa36597428f" target="_blank">Rice forced off at half-time</a> during a north London derby date with Tottenham, while Belgian winger <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/explained-why-leandro-trossard-missing-arsenal-tottenham-gabriel-jesus-eddie-nketiah-start-north-london-derby/blt3b826f34cbf83a88" target="_blank">Trossard was ruled out of that contest before a ball was kicked</a> after complaining of a “slight muscle issue” in training.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

According to <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/arsenal-declan-rice-injury-update-b1109216.html?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1695637683 " target="_blank">Standard Sport</a> – with Gabriel Martinelli, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber among the other Gunners stars stuck on the sidelines at present – Arteta will allow Rice and Trossard to sit out a meeting with Brentford on Wednesday regardless of whether they are passed fit for duty or not.

DID YOU KNOW?

Bukayo Saka is also expected to be rested against the Bees after appearing to be in some discomfort when being replaced late on in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/declan-rice-injury-bigger-blow-arsenal-dropped-derby-points-winners-losers-son-heung-min-james-maddison-spurs-rolling/blt3bed8dd06ecdc62a" target="_blank">a thrilling 2-2 draw with Spurs</a>. Arsenal are eager to avoid any long-term problems being picked up – with Timber already out for the season after knee surgery – and are in a position to rotate after investing more money over the summer in a bid to add greater depth to their squad.
