Arsenal star Leandro Trossard withdraws from Belgium squad due to injury

Arsenal attacker Leandro Trossard has withdrawn from the Belgium squad due to an injury.

The Gunners star started against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final yesterday, but Mikel Arteta withdrew him in the 82nd minute.

Trossard looked fine after the game, but it appears he has picked up an injury and more details are expected in the coming hours.

The Belgian international missed their last league game against Everton but returned for the Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen last Tuesday.

Trossard was fit heading into the game at Wembley Stadium, but will miss the friendly games against the United States on Saturday and Mexico next Wednesday.

Arsenal return to action on April 4 at Southampton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, before a trip to Portugal to face Sporting CP in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

It is unclear whether Trossard will be available as the severity of his injury is unknown, but Arteta will be hoping for the best.

Eberechi Eze, Jurrien Timber and William Saliba have also pulled out of international duty due to injuries.

England are monitoring Noni Madueke after he left Wembley with a significant strapping on his left wrist yesterday after playing with a cast.

Arsenal cannot afford further injuries right now and will pray their stars on international duty return unscathed.

They need to finish the campaign strongly and will need their best players available for the crucial run-in.
