Arsenal will have to cope without Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Martinelli at least until after the international break, with the club hopeful that they will be available for the North London derby against Tottenham on November 23. Both players missed the Champions League match against Slavia Prague and will not feature in Saturday's clash against Sunderland. Gyökeres is dealing with a minor muscle injury sustained in the victory over Burnley, while Martinelli has been sidelined since the 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed concern over Gyökeres' condition, admitting that the player has not been training and will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Arteta also pointed out that the team is currently dealing with seven injured players, most of whom are forwards. With Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus also out, Arsenal is left without a recognized striker.

Leandro Trossard, who prefers playing on the left wing, has stated he is ready to step in as the number 9 if necessary. The Belgian has scored three goals and provided three assists this season and marked his 100th Premier League appearance with an assist against Burnley.

Analysis: Arsenal finds itself in a challenging situation with the absence of key forwards, which could impact their performance in upcoming crucial matches. If a solution isn't found, the team may struggle in attack, posing a significant challenge for Arteta and his staff.
