Arsenal injury update: William Saliba, Riccardo Calafiori and Leandro Trossard latest return dates

"No, it's the other one. We thought the same straight after the game because he wasn't comfortable to finish the game. After straightaway he didn't have a good feeling so let's see if he recovers quickly."

"Leandro Trossard was the first player down against Mansfield. Trossard was named in a very attack-minded Arsenal line-up on Saturday afternoon, but his afternoon came to a premature end shortly before half-time when he went down unchallenged inside the Mansfield half."

"William Saliba remains sidelined with an ankle injury, throwing his involvement against Bayer Leverkusen into doubt. The Frenchman was ruled out of the Gunners' win over Brighton on Wednesday night, as Cristhian Mosquera came into the defence alongside Gabriel."

Arsenal faced a damaging day at Mansfield with multiple injury concerns affecting their squad. William Saliba remains sidelined with an ankle injury sustained during the Chelsea match, casting doubt on his availability for the Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen. Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori both suffered injuries during the Mansfield fixture, with Trossard appearing to have a hip issue and Calafiori stepping awkwardly. Mikel Arteta confirmed Saliba's current ankle problem is unrelated to a previous issue this season. Max Dowman has returned from injury and impressed in the FA Cup, while Mikel Merino remains the only longer-term absentee.
