Tottenham may have been celebrating the news of Martin Odegaard’s injury, which means Arsenal has lost two key midfielders ahead of their clash this weekend.
The Norwegian’s injury means both he and Declan Rice will miss the game, with Rice already suspended.
However, the Lilywhites have their own injury concern to deal with. According to a report in the Daily Mail, Yves Bissouma suffered an injury during the international break.
The Malian midfielder, one of several Premier League players on international duty, reportedly picked up a knock in Mali’s win over Eswatini.
Bissouma has been one of Tottenham’s most important players this season and a key contributor to their team, so he is expected to start if fit.
However, the report suggests he could miss the match, depending on the severity of the injury, which presents a new concern for Tottenham.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Spurs may have their fitness problem, but the smart thing for us to do is to focus on our preparations for the game.
No matter who they field, they will be eager to get all three points against us, so we need to be sure that we are ready to win the match regardless of the conditions.

We should have kept ESR
100% correct
No. The player clearly stated he wanted to leave for more game time. So there’s no need stopping him.
It will be interesting to see the sides that both clubs are able to put on 15th September. Clearly, the injury problems aren’t solely Arsenal’s.
The “Just Arsenal Opinion” is spot on imo.
We are going to win , I have that gut feeling that this injury crisis is a blessing in disguise
No fear my gunner brothers and sisters we’ll beat them without martin or declan keep the faith in our boys
Now that’s the GUNNER spirit
Keep it high .
We are able to do it.
Its surely going to be test facing two good teams in consecutive weeks without a full squad. Its a big ask but Arsenal are good enough to take all three points at Spurs. Partey is key…he has been inconsistent so far this season and on Sunday we will need a MOTM performance from him.
Balances things somewhat
The loss of both Rice and Odegaard is HUGE but there’s never a better opportunity for those other players to come in and show what they’re capable of!!
Exactly what I have been saying too.
Time for players to show they deserve to be out on the pitch rather than on the reserve bench
Just as it was time for the other players to prove themselves in Man Utd when first team players had injuries ?
Just as if Man City don’t get a little weaker without DeBryune & Rodri ?
It’s already proven that Odegaard is the best attacking midfielder in the team – what else wants to be proven & by whom ?
All teams become a little weaker without their best players, that’s proven
Let’s go there Gunners!
We will take the points, nonetheless.
Good luck to our boys… Gooners all the way
No shaking, we are going to win the match.
These injuries are just another smoke screen to keep the opposition guessing making it difficult for the respective managers to plan certain strategies.
