Arsenal suffer injury blow ahead of Spurs clash

Arsenal have suffered a big injury blow ahead of their Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The Gunners have been hampered by early season injuries, and they are now expected to be without one of their key players.

Emile Smith Rowe was struggling with a groin issue before the international break, and he has now undergone a surgery.

The operation has been done to repair a damaged tendon, and as a result, the Gunners graduate will be out for two months.

The midfielder is unlikely to return to full training until December, and this represents a big blow for the north Londoners.

They have a hectic schedule before the World Cup with 13 games in six weeks, and can ill-avoid any more injury issues.

Mikel Arteta will provide an update on the team tomorrow and hopefully, there is some good news on the fitness front.

Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko were injured before the break, but the duo could make their comebacks this weekend.
