Arsenal injury, suspension list and return dates for Everton: Latest on Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, and Leandro Trossard

Arsenal is set to host Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening for another round of Premier League action.

Following their victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the last Premier League match and Manchester City’s unexpected loss to Nottingham Forest, the Gunners have extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points, although the Citizens still have a game in hand.

Since that match, Mikel Arteta’s team has competed away in both the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League, securing a 2-1 win against Mansfield Town last Saturday before drawing with Bayer Leverkusen due to a late penalty from Kai Havertz.

As they approach a critical series of matches, including next weekend’s EFL Cup final against Manchester City, one of the most positive outcomes from Wednesday’s game for the Gunners was that they did not suffer any additional injuries.

Here is the latest update on Arsenal’s injuries and suspensions ahead of their Premier League match against Everton, who recently defeated Burnley 2-0 in their last league game.

Leandro Trossard

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: March 14 (vs. Everton)

Leandro Trossard was absent for Arsenal’s midweek match against Leverkusen, and it remains uncertain if he will be part of the matchday squad on Saturday evening.

The Belgian winger had to be substituted after just 38 minutes during the Gunners’ FA Cup match against Mansfield last weekend due to a minor injury.

Martin Odegaard

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: March 14 (vs. Everton)

Martin Odegaard has missed the last four matches for the Gunners due to a knee injury.

While it seems probable that he will return before the month concludes, the Norwegian is almost certainly ruled out for this weekend’s match.

Mikel Merino

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: Unknown

Mikel Merino has been sidelined since January due to a serious foot injury sustained against Manchester United.

The club is optimistic about the Spanish midfielder resuming full training prior to the season’s conclusion.

ARSENAL’S SUSPENSION LIST

Arsenal currently has no players suspended for this match.
