Arsenal winger Leandro Trossard picked up an injury during the 3-0 Premier League win over Sunderland on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners extended their lead at the top of the table to nine points following a convincing display against the Black Cats.

Trossard sustained a possible calf injury towards the end of the game and he is likely to be assessed ahead of the Brentford trip.

The Gunners are nine points clear at the top of the standings, but the gap could reduce if Manchester City secure a positive result at Liverpool.

Arsenal will be back in league action on Thursday night at the Vitality Stadium and it remains to be seen whether Trossard is fit enough.

Otherwise, Gabriel Martinelli is a frontrunner to start on the left wing. The Brazilian bagged yet another assist, coming of the bench today.

Martin Odegaard could have an outside chance of making the squad too. He has been nursing a muscle injury over the past couple of games.
