Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Leandro Trossard will not be available for their upcoming match against Brentford in the Carabao Cup third round. The Spanish coach opened up about Trossard’s absence, stating that the player is still recovering from an injury.
Speaking to Football.London, Arteta said, “He won’t be available for Brentford. Let’s see how he improves day by day. He did some activity and that’s why he felt it.” The manager’s comments suggest that Trossard is making progress in his recovery but needs more time before returning to action.
Trossard’s absence will be a blow for Arsenal as they look to continue their positive start to the season. The Gunners are currently in fifth position on the Premier League table with 14 points. In their most recent game, they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium.

With the Carabao Cup providing an opportunity for squad rotation and giving fringe players a chance to shine, Trossard’s absence may open the door for other players to step up and make an impact against Brentford. Arteta will have to rely on his squad depth and tactical acumen to navigate through this fixture.
Brentford, on the other hand, will be looking to cause an upset and progress further in the competition. The Premier League side has been impressive so far this season and will provide a tough challenge for Arsenal.
As fans eagerly await Wednesday night’s clash between Arsenal and Brentford, they will hope that Trossard recovers quickly and rejoins the team soon. In the meantime, Arteta will have to find alternative solutions to ensure his team continues their positive momentum in both domestic competitions.
